PREREQUISITES
COREQUISITE(S)
Illustrated lectures will provide students with key knowledge. Structured discussion will be used to develop critical reflection. Directed learning will
provide guidance on each topic, leading to focused independent study for formative and summative assignments. Tutoring sessions at the end of
semester 1 will provide formative feedback on performance and indications for improvement.
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
The assessment strategy for this module is designed to encourage students, to develop their skills of oral and discursive communication in a
supportive environment.
Semester one Formative assessment: Group Presentation
This presentation allows students to test their communication and group working skills while encouraging students to develop their knowledge and
understanding of the issues and explored in Semester 1 and demonstrate that understanding to their peers. The presentation at the end of semester 1
requires student groups to demonstrate a detailed understanding of particular aspect of a key theme covered in lectures. Students test their IT skills by
preparing a presentation using PowerPoint.
In addition, formative assessment involves students, in small groups, producing written summaries of the class discussion in a particular seminar to be
posted on the discussion board in the e-learning portal. This task develops oral, written and IT skills as well as the ability of students to work
constructively and productively within groups.
Semester Two Summative assessment - Essay (2000 words) 100%
The essay at the end of the second semester requires the student to communicate their investigations into, and reflections on, an aspect of theoretical
or critical issues that constitute the context of recent or contemporary visual arts practice. Students have the opportunity to treat this as a piece of
formative learning by submitting it to Turnitin to revise the work before submitting the essay for summative assessment.
Tutoring session feedback on the essay aids the development of understanding and communication skills.
Feedback strategy
Within the seminars the tutor will also provide oral feedback where appropriate.
Summative feedback will be provided in writing to students within three weeks of the submission date and this will be individual focused feedback. In
addition, generic module based feedback will be circulated to all students within the same timescale. All feedback will be provided in the context of
assessment criteria provided to the students at the start of the module.

SYNOPSIS
This module is primarily student led and is designed to create a study pathway to support and enhance the main specialism undertaken by the student.
It is designed to encourage the lateral and broader development of both ideas and of technical proficiency, balancing technical focus with personal
design interpretation.
This is a practical module which enables the student to contextualise knit fabrics, textiles, illustration or pattern cutting within a collection of fashion
garments, a range of samplingor illustrations. The student will be required to undertake a self directed design proposal which clearly defines areas of
research, work methods, design intentions and outcomes. The module requires the development of design work with supportive, investigative and
innovative sampling, illustration or toile making. The outcome, which is individually negotiated, will be assessed on the quality of research,
development of sampling, cutting techniques, illustrations or a finished toile in relation to an identified market.
