A-Level Art - Fashion & Textile Design

UPDATED 20161214 14:44:41

What is A Level Art - Textiles Design? Texture, surface, natural form, dreams and cities are a few of the diverse influences used to inspire creative and innovative design ideas within the areas of Textile Design. Students explore visual information to develop creative investigations into textiles and fashion. Experimentation into techniques and processes includes stitch, print, dye, knit and garment construction, to develop understanding of shape, form, pattern, texture and colour. All practical work is underpinned by critical analysis of appropriate sources. Students are encouraged to visit exhibitions and galleries. Research methods including drawing, collecting, and mood boards will be used to generate a wealth of ideas. Students' diverse and individual approaches can be realised in a variety of outcomes including fine art textiles, fashion design, illustration and textile design. What will the course prepare me for? Many students go on to study the UAL Art Foundation Diploma and then access Higher Education. There are many universities offering courses to progress onto, including Textile Design, Womenswear, Menswear, Styling, Fashion Buying, Fashion Promotion and Costume Design for theatre and television.
