CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
Special investigation into various aspects of fabric printing—block, stencil, resist printing, screen
processes including photo emulsions, etc. Topics include lecture and demonstration of techniques used
for increasing production, and focusing on depth rather than breadth.
NOTE:
COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES: List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate
some of them in terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or
skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degree-applicable courses, include
objectives in the area of “critical thinking.”
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will learn to recognize textiles on the basis of:
1. Demonstrate an in depth understanding of one or more specific printing processes.
2. Demonstrate an in depth understanding of one or more types of dyes or fabric paints.
3. Demonstrate as ability to design for printed textiles and execute them successfully.
4. Evaluate and critique their own work.
5. Use surface design as a means of artistic expression.

For degree applicable courses the adopted texts have been certified to be college-level:
Yes. Basis for determination:
is used by two or more four-year colleges or universities (certified by the Division Chair, or
Branch Coordinator, or Center Dean)
OR
has been certified by the LAC as being of college level using the Coleman and Dale—Chall
Readability Index Scale.
No. Request for Exception Attached
If no text or a below college level text is used in a degree applicable course, a Request for Exception form
must be completed and a rationale provided. This request for exception will be approved or denied by the
Curriculum Committee.
METHODS TO MEASURE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT:
Please check where appropriate; however, a degree applicable course must have a minimum of one
response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the department must explain why
substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
1. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s)
term or other paper(s)
written homework
reading report(s)
other (specify)
2
laboratory report(s)

If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate
because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain)
2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
exam(s)
quizzes
homework problems
laboratory report(s)
field work
other (specify) Projects and samples
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s)
other (specify)
field work
performance exam(s)
4. Objective examinations, including:
multiple choice
true/false
completion
other (specify) Completion of projects and samples
matching items
NOTE: A course grade may not be based solely on attendance.
REQUIRED READING, WRITING, AND OTHER OUTSIDE OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
Over an 18-week presentation of the course, 3 hours per week are required for each unit of credit. ALL
Degree Applicable Credit classes must treat subject matter with a scope and intensity which require the
student to study outside of class. Two hours of independent work done out of class are required for each
hour of lecture. Lab and activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the
regular class time the students in this class will be doing the following:
Study
Answer questions
Skill practice
Required reading
Problem solving
Written work (essays/compositions/report/analysis/research)
Journal (reaction and evaluation of class, done on a continuing basis throughout the semester)
Observation of or participation in an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert,
debate, meeting, etc.)
Field trips
Other (specify)
COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be
completed for non-degree applicable courses. Describe how the course requires students to
independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and
assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students must work with a specific printing process or two to ascertain its particular strengths and
limitations. Students must be able to use the process(es) to make completed textile objects and/or
projects. Students must be able to work with the specific process(es) to achieve appropriate designs.

REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION
The Curriculum Committee is authorized to determine the appropriateness of entrance skills and
requisites for any given course; to determine whether or not language and/or computational skills at
the associate degree level are essential to success in a given course; to determine what is “college
level” in learning skills, vocabulary, and in the ability to think critically and apply concepts; and to
determine on a case-by-case basis when any departure from the attached guidelines may be justified.
To request an exception, provide the following information:

NATURE OF EXCEPTION AND RATIONALE:
REPEATABILITY: Topics vary from semester to semester, as does the difficulty and depth of
involvement with projects and samples.
TEXT: No appropriate text exists that covers all topics adequately. Portions of the following books
will be used in the place of a single text, and an extensive bibliography will be passed out at the first
class meeting.
