Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After successfully completing this course, students should be able to design woven fabrics with advanced jacquard structures, such as different multi-layered and double faced structures, for industrial production. Students should be able to design usable woven fabrics and evaluate their design decisions in the light of sustainable production. The more credits they complete, the broader and deeper their knowledge of the subject should be.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Learning activities: Lectures, demostrations, group and individual tutorials, group meetings and critic session on the last contact teaching day

    Design assignment: Students design a collection of woven fabrics, which can include patterned jacquards as well as plains and textures, and realize it in weaving workshop and on industrial machine. Technical details of each fabric should be documented in product cards, and one copy of each product card with a small sample of fabric should be given for weaving workshop archieves. Students decide the focus of their collection according to their own  projects and interests. In addition to samples, students have the possibility to produce bigger pieces of fabric for their project.

Assessment Methods and Criteria
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Grounds for evaluation: participation and design assignment

    Evaluation criteria for design assignment: understanding, documentation and creative use of woven structures and materials, creativity of the design, the usability of the fabrics in their intended use, artistic expression, coordination of the collection

Workload
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Depends on the number of credits:

    2 cr = 54h

    lectures and tutorials: 28h for all students, 80% attendance required

    group meetings and tutorials: 5h - 15h depending on the number of credits, 80% attendance required

    critic: 4h for all students completing 3 cr or more, attendance required

    time to think: 5h - 30h depending on the number of credits

    self-guided activities: 15h - 195h depending on the number of credits

    students have the possibility to meet teacher for individual tutoring for 0,5h-3h: 50h of teacher´s work
