[dejeasi]

heyy.. does everyone have an idea on what they're gna do for their major works next year?? coz my class hasnt started.. and im sorta thinkin wer runnin out of time..
and i dont even think my teachers are specialised in textiles.. that is such a disadvantage!!!

 

[maddimully]

Hey, dude
chill ok.
To pick something just relax and think of all the things you like.
then add to them the things youd like to make.
join them
mix it round till it fits
and suddenly youve got an idea.
Work out the design features and go for it.
But once you start Never change your mind cause you will lose it.
Dont worry you will hate it by the end but it will be worth it.
Good luck
and bad luck about the teachers

 

[gen.shottaffeta]

just start soon, even if its making a big long list of possible sources of inspiration
maddimully is right, choose things you like.
and think about design features you know/are good at and try and use them somewhere if you can
make sure its hard enough but not so hard you wont finish
and make sure you'll be able to write enough in the doc for it

I had not started this time last year, you might want to soon though, i struggled to get ideas so what i simply did was find something and did it, i didn ot have time to come up with anything else

 

[gen.shottaffeta]

yeah i found it hard too...i ended up just starting with the first design i did and then made small changes along the way, and it turned out well

 

[cookie.banana]

photography... i'm alright (ok great) at it and i have big ideas etc

is it true that apparel is marked harder then, say costume?! does anyone know?

 

[honeyissweet25]

is it true that apparel is marked harder then, say costume?! does anyone know?

not so, apparel is by far the largest focus area, with alot of pieces, both good and bad. keep in mind that you are marked on your construction and development of your idea, this includes the fabrics you have chosen, colors and whether this reflects your design and ideas, construction methods you have used; pleating instead of gathering for example. it is not marked on a subjective manner.

also remember that is it only 50% of your marks, so keep up with your theory work

good luck.

 

[haylz234]

they get good and bad pieces every year.

when i took textiles last year, my teacher went to marking, and they get some quite unusual pieces (i.e. a costume to wear during sex??)

most people go above and beyond what they need to do to get the marks. not saying you shouldnt try hard, but whatever you do, think outside the box and be innovative.

also, anything that involves the use of "green" technology always goes down well apparently.

good luck, and like honeyissweet said, keep up the theory. most people get so wrapped up in the major work they forget to do the rest of the work. espesh pay attention to bicomponent yarns and all that techincal stuff. tested EVERY year.

Good Luck girls for MTP- The MTP is really hard and time consuming. But its all about time mmgt!!!! Seriously, i know how hard it is, i still have nightmares lol. But the main thing is to get everything done by early july, and then after that, fix up any mistakes so its not last minute and you abtian the highest possible marks! besides if you work hard, you deserve it!

 

[Emica]

find something simple with a wow factor, beacause the wow factor can turn something basic into a band six, and try and think of something different, make a mood board of things you like and try and withdraw aspects to create something quirky.

I'm making a mega ginormous wall hanging of Antarctica, Textiles Art. Prototype FINISHED yo.

I fucking hate the portfolio

 

[Gdedaj]

Hmm i'm making a kind of wall art (on canvas).
It kind of looks like a weird mix of a japanese garden, greek architecture and a red/orange sunset. Confusing? 0.o'
I still havn't done much.. I'll try get some done these holidays.

So how's everyone going with theirs?

 

[rain141]

well im using textiles in my design and tec class, not my art. I ve decided on making pop culture shirts. If anyone can think of any good ideas please tell me, cause im starting to run out ! ><

Wow i feel so sorry you. Distance Ed in textiles, crap.... that must be hard. The folio is my biggest worry too :S

 

[kateemily]

i did textile art and a little girls dress and the skirt was all patchworked and hand embroidered. aiming for full marks, despite the fact my teacher said only 5-10 ppl in the state get it

 

[sophieovens]

hey im doing a dress, and chosen my theme as spring, my dress is strapless with a low back, and having flowing layers coming down as the skirt- got some inspiration off some of sherri hills dress designs and converted those to my own- im also making a flower out of silk to attach to the front of the dress.
im so excited!
already designed my bodice out of calico and sewn them together- now for the real stuff
