This course is designed to allow students to develop and build upon the pattern making and construction skills learned in previous courses. Students will evaluate and translate key elements from an existing designer runway look and from their own two-dimensional designs to create customized patterns and construct, fit and correct garments to industry standards. New construction and finishing techniques will also be introduced.

Here the student is encouraged to undertake research, design and construct a collection of designer clothing for celebrities such as film stars, musicians, sportsmen, politicians and business executives. Designer workroom techniques will be emphasised.

The course is a survey of the beginnings of modern art in Africa. It evaluates chronological developments in the evolution of artistic styles and forms from the mid-nineteenth century to the present on a pan-continental scale. It will also promote Diaspora traditions of modernism. Responses by artists to the pull of Western European-inspired modernism and indigenous or other options open to the artist in contemporary cultural contexts will be examined.

Paradigm shifts within scientific approach to geographical research, quantification and classification in geography; theories and models in geography; systems analysis in geography and spatial thinking skills
