Analysing Aesthetic and Functional Features

Aesthetic Features: Appearance; shape; line; colour; texture; patterns.

Functional Features: How something works; utility; purpose 

Year 10’s were asked to analysis this camera-shaped bag by focusing on the aesthetic and functional features. The bag was given to us for the day by Miss Smith (drama) and has provided some inspiration for the creative cushion project.

Backstreet Bargains - Fabric Store Trip

Backstreet Bargains had the pleasure of hosting the FFC Senior Textile’s class on Monday.
On the short journey, the girls kept me entertained singing along to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Be Humble’ (sounds a lot like mumble) and one student spotted her uncle in the line-up of cars at the lights.
Although it was a tight squeeze, the girls and I perused the shelves of fabric to find something suitable for winter and summer garments. Some of the students found exactly what they were looking for, whilst others checked out the range of fabric types, colours, and prints – to keep in mind for a later date.
Bruce - the owner - kindly gave the girls the opportunity to take home a free Rabbit soft toy.
Much to Taylar’s delight, we rounded off the trip with a quick visit to Mc Donalds J

Keep posted for further updates of how their winter and summer garments are coming along.
