In the teaching of textile design, it is important to make learners aware of all these processes and products. In this course, printing processes such as lino, stencil and screen printing are analysed through practical use. The importance of drawing and sketching is underlined and learners are taught to draw with sensitive and accurate observation. An aesthetic conscience is grown with which learners can evaluate various standards. Current design trends are analysed and practical situations such as interior decorating are used to demonstrate the applicability of the subject. Grade 10: Learners are introduced to the formal elements of art and the principles of design. This basic knowledge is used in basic surface-application techniques such as potato printing, felting, hand painting and collage techniques. Grade 11: Learners are expected to apply the techniques learned in Grade 10 in combinations, and a more advanced approach to surface decoration is expected. Grade 12: Learners are expected to display more individuality and to apply the techniques acquired in specific projects.
