Understanding Fashion - HNC 3O0
This course introduces students to the world of fashion. Students will gain an understanding of theories related to fashion trends and of how culture, media, fashion cycles, retailing, and social and environmental factors influence fashion trends and consumer behaviour. Students will use various tools, technologies, and techniques safely and correctly to create fashion items. In addition, students will apply knowledge of fibres, fabrics, and the elements and principles of design when creating and assessing fashion-related products. Students will develop research skills
as they investigate topics related to fashion.
There are many opportunities for experiential learning including design challenges, participating in the Community Quilt Project, designing and creating an embellished bag, and creating a garment.
The World of Fashion - HNB 4M0
There are many opportunities for experiential learning. In the fall of 2013, the HNB 4M0 class began the Community Quilt Project - a project to use knowledge of the elements and principles of design to create quilts for charity. They ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise money for equipment and tools, including creating a promotional video and logo. Future students will participate in the Community Quilt Project, design and create recycled garments, and create custom garments. There is also potential for interested students to participate in the Peel Skills Competition.
