THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 9–12 | Social Sciences and Humanities
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
D1.1 identify and describe the elements and principles of design as they apply to fashion products (e.g., line, colour, shape, texture, balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, harmony)
Teacher prompt: “What are some ways of using colour or texture to show contrast in a garment?”
D1.2 analyse the impact that apparel and/or accessories reflecting various elements and principles of design can have on a person’s appearance and the impression he or she creates
Teacher prompts: “Why do horizontal lines on some garments make a person appear wider?” “Why does dark clothing make a person appear smaller?” “What is the effect of clothes or accessories in bright colours?”
D1.3 apply the elements and principles of
design when creating fashion-related products (e.g., when creating fashion illustrations, fashion sketches, apparel for paper dolls of different body shapes; when designing a garment; when engaged in a sewing project)
Teacher prompts: “Are you going to run the lines in your fabric horizontally or vertically in the garment you are creating? Why? What effect will that produce? How would the effect be different if the lines ran the other way?” “How can a fashion illustration that shows formal balance be modified to show informal balance in a similar garment?”
By the end of this course, students will:
D2.1 identify various tools and technologies used in the creation of fashion products, and describe their function (e.g., measuring tape, seam ripper, scissors, pinking shears, iron, pressing ham, sewing machine, serger, loom, knitting needles, crochet hook)
Teacher prompt: “What cutting tools are neces­ sary to make clothing? What are the differences in the functions of various cutting tools?”
D2.2 demonstrate the safe use of tools and technologies when creating fashion products (e.g., keep pins in a pin cushion, store the iron on its heel when not in use, promptly replace blunt or bent needles in sewing machines or sergers)
Teacher prompts: “Why is it important to replace a bent or dull needle on a sewing machine?” “When using a sewing machine, why is it important to wear safety glasses or tie back long hair?”
D2.3 use tools and technologies correctly
when creating fashion products (e.g., tools
and technologies associated with cutting, pressing, pinning, sewing, knitting, crocheting, felting, embroidering, dyeing)
Teacher prompt: “How would you use a measuring tape to place a pattern piece correctly on fabric?”
