Learning Objectives:

Your Final Unit will demonstrate your design thinking and textiles skills that you have developed throughout the semester.

Process

Step One:

Complete a Project Proposal and conference with Ms. Nethery for approval and material selection before beginning. Upload your approved Project Proposal to Google Classroom.

You will be evaluated based on how close your final project is to your proposal and any design thinking opportunities that arose during your project creation.

Step Two:

Use studio time to practice design thinking and develop skills based on your approved project. You will have about three weeks to complete your project.

Step Three:

Complete the Project Reflection and submit your project. If your final project is different from your proposed project, be sure to explain your design thinking process in your reflection.

Projects are due June 10th, 2025.
