This program will provide you with the diverse skills, techniques and knowledge that will enable you to take on a variety of roles in Textile design in global and local industries and design communities. Textile designers are materially engaged and work across diverse discipline contexts and associated design industries. The Bachelor of Textiles (Design) program cultivates intelligent, creative and active studio based learning approaches to design.As a graduate you will have comprehensive and coherent practical, theoretical and technical knowledge in textile design that you can employ in a broad range of existing and future industry contexts and emerging communities of practice. You will study textile design in a context that is both global and contemporary, and you will acquire cross-disciplinary skills and techniques to enable you to work sustainably and ethically, with cultural and social awareness, in order to drive design innovation and industry change. The program will provide you with the necessary foundation that will enable you to further specialise, advance and apply your knowledge in textile design as an emerging designer, either in industry or via further study.The primary mode of learning is through studio practice, and courses within the program use diverse studio activities and experiences as a way for you to achieve the various learning outcomes of the program and to attain a comprehensive range of practical, theoretical and technical skills and knowledge in textile design. Learning activities and experiences are designed with contemporary industry and discipline contexts in mind, and all are aimed at developing a thorough range of textile design skills and knowledge. From the first year of the program you will be exposed to the key methods and approaches to textile design across diverse contexts. Immersive studios examine and challenge new modes of creative textile practice through material investigation, play, sensorial awareness, storytelling, cultural and technical theory and design.In the following years of the program, through various studio projects, you will analyse and evaluate diverse aspects of the design industry, further sharpen your design skills and techniques, and develop your critical thinking in response to the challenges posed by existing, emerging and speculative markets, consumers and personas. Partnered projects with industry (WIL), other disciplines or community sectors will enable you to communicate your textile design knowledge, skills and thinking to others, to collaborate creatively with industry and cross-disciplinary partners, and to refine your professional practice work-ready skills. You will develop independent practice and work in collaborative, cross-disciplinary environments and engaged with industry briefs, as well as speculative briefs that will allow you to develop a unique identity and textile practice. You will have the opportunity to engage with international guest lecturers in seminars, workshops or other learning experiences or through an industry review of their projects. In addition, there is opportunity to undertake study tours or exchange programs outside Australia.A capstone experience is provided in GRAP2869 Textile Design Project Launch. In this course you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your acquired knowledge and skills in textile design by participating in, collaborating with or reflecting on current industry or disciplinary practices. You will produce an individual textile design project showcased to industry or a related discipline context, that demonstrates your acquisition of the cognitive, technical and communication skills of a textile designer.Graduates enter into a variety of professional roles in the fashion and textile sectors including commercial practice, niche, design production, emerging markets and related disciplinary contexts. These roles are in global small to large scale enterprises in design industries including, fashion, industrial, interior, architecture, automotive, and visual arts practices.
