Year 10 Product Design Technology - Mixed Materials

Year 10 Mixed Materials in the Creative Lab 

This course will be taught out of our creative lab (not a traditional hard materials workshop). 

The year long course has been designed to give students an experience in a range of mixed materials, including producing:

• Textile outcomes

• Pewter Casting

• Garment pattern making and construction

Students will have the opportunity to learn how to produce and develop a design within Adobe Illustrator, enabling them to create their own textile outcome through cutting fabric or printing onto it. 

They will then design a mold for a piece of jewellery which is cut out on the Laser Cutter and used to cast Pewter.  

Students will finish the year by undertaking pattern making to manufacture their own textile outcome.

Within all three outcomes, students will utilise the design process to understand how to meet stakeholder needs, generate creative and innovative ideas, incorporate computer design software, and evaluate and refine their work.
