successful completion of 83621 Foundations in Patternmaking and Construction 1
Description
This subject enables students to advance techniques learnt in 83621 Foundations in Patternmaking and Construction 1. Students continue to learn how to use the principles of patternmaking and garment construction to further interpret complex fashion design ideas into realisable garment outcomes. Students are introduced to CLO3D which is a digital design software, integrating patternmaking and construction workflows. Students create advanced garment forms, and continue to investigate material qualities essential to understand in order to create accurate and professional fashion garments. Students learn to create complex garment components in both flat pattern and three-dimensional garment forms.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
| 1. | The ability to utilise effective time management to meet deadlines and tasks set. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Learning the value and importance of taking risks, decision making and challenging boundaries. |
| 3. | Self-directed learning and in-class participation demonstrating progress each week. |
| 4. | Appropriate levels of technical skills in patternmaking and construction. |
| 5. | Accuracy, rigour and care in documentation of patternmaking and construction techniques with independent research included and referenced. |
| 6. | Accuracy, rigour and care shown in finished patterns and sample garments demonstrating professionalism in presentation. |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes to the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Demonstrate an ability to speculate, experiment, challenge boundaries and take risks (I.2)
- Demonstrate the ability to acquire, use and integrate relevant technical skills into creative projects. (P.2)
- Effectively manage time to complete projects with accuracy, rigour and care (P.4)
- Analyse and synthesise knowledge in both visual and written forms to undertake in-depth research. (R.1)
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:
C = communication and groupwork
A = attitudes and values
P = practical and professional
R = research and critique
I = innovation and creativity.
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).
Teaching and learning strategies
Studios are practice-based and delivered face-to-face with 3 hour classes per week. Classes alternate in 2-week Sessions. Patternmaking is held in the Computer Labs and access to CLO3D software. Construction is held in the Sewing Workshop, and requires all students to be accredited to use the workshop.
Session 1: Patternmaking (Weeks 1, 2). Session 2: Construction (Weeks 3, 4), Session 3: Patternmaking (Weeks 5, 6), Session 4: Construction (Weeks 7, 8), Session 5: Patternmaking (Weeks 9, 10), Session 6: Construction (Weeks 11, 12).
All classes require preparatory work in the form of pattern preparation, sample garment preparation, sourcing materials and notions, pre-reading or viewing, documentation and reflection on studio and workshop activities.
This subject incorporates a range of teaching and learning strategies which includes discussions, demonstrations, studio activities, online activities, construction and patternmaking problem solving and making.
Assessments are project-based, combining in-class demonstrations and individual learning.
Patterns and Garments are produced and presented as part of the assessment tasks, either in physical form or 2D/3D forms.
Journals are used to record technical processes and steps, photograph processes and outcomes and all samples. These are prepared digitally for submission. Research Tasks are embedded within each assessment, and expand the students understanding of patternmaking and construction for garment applications.
Content (topics)
1. Understand more complex methods of pattern manipulation in relationship to fashion design.
2. Demonstrate through the completion of project work, machine and construction skills.
3. Operate workshop machinery safely.
4. Develop an understanding of the different methods of construction for specific fabric types.
5. Apply skills and knowledge gained in the subject into finished designed garments.
6. Critically analyse and reflect on pattern and construction practices, including time-management of processes.
7. Source and reference information.
Assessment
Assessment task 1: Pant - Patternmaking and Construction
| Intent: | Assessment 1 Brief can be downloaded from Canvas. This includes complete information for this assessment. Assessment criteria is available at any time in the REVIEW assessment system at http://uts.review-edu.com/uts/ You are encouraged to engage with the criteria by self-assessing your work before the deadline for this task. This assessment task introduces students to methods of patternmaking with a focus on pants. Students will learn the 3D design program, CLO3D to create a Pant Patternmaking Workflow and printed Pattern (A0). Students will learn new terminology and build on prior learning to construct both patterns and sample garments. Patternmaking and construction journals are submitted, which build upon research methods used in 83621, advancing these resources with new techniques. Research Tasks support student's integration of their learning about patternmaking and construction with garment analysis. In-class progress is taken into consideration for this assessment. It involves students demonstrating weekly attendance, time management by undertaking preparatory activities, weekly progression in class and responding to feedback. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Assessment task 2: Shirt - Patternmaking and Construction
| Intent: | Assessment brief 2 can be downloaded from Canvas. This includes complete information for this assessment. Assessment criteria is available at any time in the REVIEW assessment system at http://uts.review-edu.com/uts/ You are encouraged to engage with the criteria by self-assessing your work before the deadline for this task. This assessment task introduces students to methods of patternmaking and construction with a focus on Shirts. Students will learn new terminology and build on prior learning to construct both patterns and sample garments. In patternmaking, students will learn the CLO Shirt Construction Workflow to understand how to render a garment in 3D. In construction, students learn how to create a Shirt Toile and Shirt Sample Garment. Session 3 (Week 6), Session 4, Session 5 and Session 6 classes support the development of assessable samples and patterns. Patternmaking and construction journals are submitted, which build upon research methods used in 83621, advancing these resources with new techniques. Research Tasks support student's contextualization of patternmaking and construction techniques. Students apply independent learning in CLO3D to create Shirt Variations for submission. Students learn how to document a garment specification in the Shirt Specification Sheet. In-class progress is taken into consideration for this assessment. It involves students demonstrating weekly attendance, time management by undertaking preparatory activities, weekly progression in class and responding to feedback. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
