Learning Outcomes: - Understand the concept behind the recycling of fabric or textiles; - Create a simple design using recycled fabric; - Create pattern, texture and structure by applying creative techniques to the design; - Improve upon the design to enhance its appearance; - Apply basic sewing and creative techniques to a simple project. Assessment: In keeping with the spirit of Degree Plus, there is no formal assessment associated with the unit. A certificate of attendance and of satisfactory completion of the unit will be provided at the end of the semester. Note: Degree plus units are not designed to be incrementally burdensome in terms of the many academic demands placed on students during their undergraduate years. Unit Material: Appropriate unit material will be provided by the tutors during the sessions.
