| Module Description: |
This module explores textile methods and materials in 2D & 3D applications in art practices. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Explore 2D and 3D visual elements by means of the particular expressive qualities of textiles materials and methods. |
| LO2 |
Utilise visual source material imaginatively to direct textile experimentation. |
| LO3 |
Manipulate textile materials and methods creatively and experimentally in response to concepts. |
| LO4 |
Display technical skill in a range of textiles processes with several specialisms identified. |
| LO5 |
Evaluate, select, and present a portfolio of experimental studies reflecting awareness of current textile art practice. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
