Fashion 7
Course Outline
Course Objective: To teach some basic quilting, textile art and decorative
techniques.
Project Descriptions:
Project 1: Across cultures and time
periods, textile items have been used for more than just covering up or
creating practical items. By manipulating colors, shapes, textures; using
various techniques for piecing together parts; dyeing and painting on fabric;
and beading, applique and embroidery people have created items that are both
practical and convey a message. Now it’s
your turn! Using a variety of methods design and create an item that utilizes
various fabric art techniques to convey a message, theme or part of a story.
Project 2: Sewing often goes beyond
just creating an item to wear or use. Over the course of time and across
different cultures people have infused artistic ideas into their sewing. Fabric
colors, textures and shapes can be used to create images and designs that adorn
items such as tops, bags, pillows or blankets. Techniques such as dying, batik,
appliqué, embroidery, beading and patchwork can be used to add an artistic
touch. Using a variety of techniques, how can an image or design become a part
of a practical item?

areas:

Materials
Though the school has some
supplies for the students to use, it would be suggested for the students to
have the following supplies on hand.
This allows them to work at the machines and on their projects a little
more efficiently.
- Pins
- Pin cushion
- Small pair of scissors for snipping
- Seam ripper
- Case for above equipment
Even though we have scrap fabrics
for the students to use they may still ask to purchase materials for their
projects. The parents will need to sign
off on the proposal before the student hands it in for evaluation. After I have signed off on it as well, the
students will need to purchase their materials and supplies for the project.
- Good quality thread (Coats, Mettler, Gutterman)
and all other notions for project
- Fabric for projects
