Year 11 Textiles Students Showcase Creativity with Embellished Bags
Our talented Year 11 Textiles students have recently completed their task 1 practical project in the focus area of Textile Art. Each student explored the Aesthetic and Functional aspects of design, thoughtfully applying the Elements and Principles of Design to guide their choices in colour, shape, texture, and composition. The result? A stunning variety of embellished bags, each telling its own story through thoughtful design and decoration.
To meet the project criteria, students incorporated decoration and colouration techniques. This included hand and machine embroidery, beading, appliqué, patchwork, quilting, and more. A variety of fabrics, yarns, and fibres were used to create rich surfaces and textures, making each piece not only visually striking but also tactile and functional.
As part of their learning, students also developed skills in quality construction methods, such as using appropriate seam finishes, and documented their work through detailed folio samples.
This project was a wonderful opportunity for students to blend creativity, craftsmanship, and personal expression, and the final outcomes were as impressive as they were individual.
