KS3 Technology - Textiles
Technology lessons in KS3 are a rotation of three subjects – Resistant Materials (DT), Food Technology (DT) and Textiles (Art).
|
Our vision for textiles at Ashton Park: Textiles as a subject has many technical skills to be learned. It is also a subject which links to the world around us in terms of the clothes we wear and many of the items which feature in our homes. Our hope is that students will be able to master the textiles techniques and to also develop a visual literacy, but most of all we would like them to enjoy the subject and develop as young textiles artists. |

Natalie Blake Project Pattern interiors/exteriors
Building on your art textiles skills in year 7, students will use printing techniques, hand sewing techniques and embroidery to create a cushion inspired by Natalie Blake. These will be made up of separate tiles, taking inspiration from the interiors and exteriors of building designs in places like Morocco. Outcome is a cushion made from four sections, with designs incorporating patterns.

Rosie James/ Bethan Ash Bristol Street Art
Building further on your Textiles skills learned in Year 8, students will embark on a project that combines their previous skills into an exciting street art project, taking inspiration from our city. They will look at the work of Rosie James and Bethan Ash, also incorporating reverse Applique techniques to create a piece of work inspired by street culture.
Outcome is an art textiles piece inspired by the work of Bristol street art.
