AS TEXTILES
For Unit 1 the AS
Textiles students have produced a portfolio of work relating to the theme of
‘Seasons’. Each student chose one of the
four seasons and explored tracing, drawing and Photoshop responses which they then
developed into textiles. Following their experiments into surface pattern using dye, batik, print and stitch, students also explored constructed textiles in the form of weave and felt and 3D technique of wrapped wires. They then chose and developed the most successful ideas and choice of media towards an ambitious final outcome.
The images exhibited are final outcomes in the form of headwear which have created using a variety of textile techniques inspired by the students chosen season and the milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy.
A2 GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION
Having completed
the AS course, Graphic Design students continue on to A2 to develop
their techniques and understanding of this creative discipline. Students
are invited to work through a series of exercises and topics which build skills
either in typography or illustration, their chosen “pathway”.
The work exhibited
here are just a few examples of the current A2 students output. These final
pieces evolve over a number of months, each student possessing a sizable
portfolio of development to accompany their Unit 3 coursework.
Towards the end of
the course students select from a choice of eight final outcome topics, making
personal choices which further develop and express their own intensions, skills
and disciplines. Despite following the same schemes of work, students all
arrive at their own unique, creative and personal outcomes.
