Key Stage 3
Year 7
Inspired by the bold artwork of British Designer Peter Blake, Yr 7 Textiles students will design and make wall hanging personalised to themselves or a particular user of their choice. They will be introduced to the sewing machine to secure the edges whilst also developing their practice of hand embroidery and applique.
Year 8
Developing their skills further, Yr8 will continue to develop their hand sewing skills to create a fabric storage roll inspired by the artist Henri Mattise and Biomorphism. They will challenge themselves further on the sewing machine by stitching the pocket side of the fabric roll, firstly on a paper prototype and then following evaluating their idea onto the final fabric.
Year 9
Students will create a Tote Bag based on their visual and contextual research of current issues and ideas. Students will improve their design making skills inspired by the artist Keith Haring, working on an issue based topic of their own choice. They will create their products using sewing machines. They will also explore a range of embroidery skills and have the opportunity to use the heat press to enhance their bag designs. Students will combine Sewing machine skills, Applique and Embroidery techniques to create their final piece.
