Further Notes About Assessment Methods

In this course, We help the students to create their own designs relevant to the subject set before and weave the designs based on the capacity of the armure loom. We also help them to choose the weave and its derivations to make the designs appear effectively as intended after weaving. Trial-and-error is possible during application. Furthermore, we teach them a lot of details, from choosing yarn to weave derivation, and from frame number to weaver s reed size.

Assessment Criteria

The students are also evaluated by the plan reports which they have to make before application. 40 % of the project, 60 % of the jury evaliation determines the passing grade.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules
