Lesson Introduction: Dive into the World of Fabric Dyeing

Subject: Design and Technology
Year Level: 10
Topic: Dyeing Fabric

Introduction: A Splash of Colour

Welcome to today’s lesson on dyeing fabric, where we’ll transform plain materials into stunning, colourful pieces of art. To kick things off, let's imagine a world without colour in our clothing or surroundings. Picture a wardrobe filled with only shades of grey! How would that make you feel?

Think-Pair-Share Activity

Step 1: Think
Take a moment to consider your favourite piece of clothing. What colour is it? Why do you love it? Reflect on how that colour makes you feel when you wear it.

Step 2: Pair
Now, turn to the person next to you and share your thoughts. Discuss why you think colour is important in fashion and design. How does it influence the way we perceive objects and ideas?

Step 3: Share
Be prepared to share a summary of your discussion with the class. Each group will have the opportunity to share a key point from their conversation, so think about the most impactful thing you heard.

Engaging Visuals

As you share, let’s look at some visually striking examples of dyed fabrics from around the world. (Here, project images of traditional and contemporary dyed textiles, like batik, tie-dye, and ombre designs.) Observe the vibrant colours and intricate patterns.

Think about how dyes not only change the appearance of fabrics but also reflect cultural meanings, history, and personal expression.

Objectives of the Lesson

By the end of today’s lesson, you will:

  1. Understand various methods of fabric dyeing.
  2. Explore the chemical processes involved in dyeing.
  3. Experiment with dyeing techniques to create your own unique fabric samples.

Transition to Hands-On Activity

Now that we’ve sparked our imaginations and discussed the importance of colour, let’s roll up our sleeves and get hands-on! Gather your materials as we embark on an exciting journey to dye our own fabric.

Are you ready to unleash your creativity? Let’s dive in!

This engaging start not only draws students into the lesson but also encourages collaborative learning and critical thinking, setting a vibrant tone for the practical activities ahead.
