Kaiapoi High School
Year 10 Wearable Arts Half Year
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Morrison.
This course is for students who want to explore textiles, and sculptural materials, and learn about making 3D creative garments or costumes.
This course is part of the General Curriculum and if chosen will be one of your PART B selections.
Course Overview
What is taught in courses varies from year to year. This course could include:
You will learn how to creatively form and play with ideas using drawing and material exploration, work with a basic pattern, and understand basic fitting procedures in order to make your own 3D corset-based costume. You can also make a themed sculptural prop or accessory.
Students can work with sewing machines/punches/screen printing/dying/hand molding processes and found or unusual materials. You will also learn special effects makeup and 3D prosthetic applications and create your own effect to complement your costume and prop.
Pathway
This course develops students’ skills to prepare them for NCEA Level 1 Wearable Art. It is a stepping stone for a wide range of career opportunities in the fashion/stage/film industries, such as fashion/costume designer or consultant, or special effects makeup artist.
Disclaimer
Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it. Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.
Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
