The learning outcomes for CCA's Textiles program are:

Students can effectively present their work in an artist statement that is specific and relevant to the work presented.

Students can speak clearly and respond effectively to questions about their aesthetic intent, creative process, and future trajectories of their work.

Students develop their ideas and make work that expresses themselves with conceptual, material, and technological skills.

Content

• Students demonstrate the ability to make work that is thoughtfully considered, well researched, and conceptually rigorous.

Material

• Students use materials in consideration of their physical properties as well as their poetic, formal, historical, or cultural implications.

Technique

• Students skillfully use analogue and/or digital tools to create artistic works.

Presentation

• Students intentionally install their work to effectively emphasize its visual impact and/or conceptual meaning.

Students can combine or synthesize ideas, images, materials, technique, form, color, and/or spatial dynamics to express themselves in original/innovative ways.

Students apply their knowledge of historical and contemporary art and design practices to contextualize their work within historical landscapes and contemporary dialogues.

Students understand how meaning is formed through the interrelationship between multiple works, and are moving towards identifying, researching, exploring, and building an independent artistic voice and a cohesive body of work.

Students can engage with diverse and global perspectives, histories, and values, including the cultural relevance of larger systems of power and privilege.

Students demonstrate an understanding of sustainability as a global, social, economic, environmental, and practice-based concern.
