This document outlines the requirements for Project 1 of the BA (Hons) Textiles Year One unit titled "Trends, Contexts, Issues". The project requires students to write a learning agreement identifying a concept and target market to investigate. Students will explore contexts and trends to develop new ideas and demonstrate self-directed learning skills. Researching trends and identifying materials, processes, markets and color palettes is expected. The project prepares students for Year 2 and addresses several learning outcomes around interpreting practice through historical/contemporary movements and communicating ideas clearly.
