Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student can
- distinguish between different printing methods of textile materials
- recognize the principles of using different printing techniques
- to design a printed pattern for a base material
- to design a printed pattern to be realized with digital printing technology

Implementation and methods of teaching

Lectures and presentations, company visits and excursions and learning assignments

Timing and attendance

Building competence requires active presence throughout the course. Attendance is compulsory at the start and end of the course and during the company visits. The daily programme of the course is announced at the start of the course

Contents

PUMU, wearable design.
The course introduces the different possibilities of patterning textiles, especially by printing techniques, the principles of using different printing techniques, designing print patterns on base materials and the processes of print fabric design. The course includes the design and realisation of a print pattern using digital printing techniques.

Assessment criteria

Active attendance of the course and company visits, and successful completion of the assigned exercises and return of the assignments as scheduled. The weighting of the independent learning assignment is 50% of the final grade.

Assessment scale

1-5

Failed (0)

A fail grade is given when the student has not achieved the learning objectives of the course or has not been able to demonstrate his/her competence. Exercises not returned 1 week after the final presentation, unless otherwise agreed.
Missing independent learning assignment.

Assessment criteria: level 1 (assessment scale 1–5)
