  1. LESSON 3/5 Nature inspiring Technology. • Within this lesson you will cover: • Develop an understanding of how biomimicry has inspired textile design. • How nature has inspired repeated patterns throughout art & design history. • Production of a repeated textiles pattern using image boards.

  2. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles DO NOW - Quiz. Lets test your memory and knowledge of biomimicry from the previous lessons. Hands up, don’t shout out with your answers. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/06/21/biomimicry.design.quiz/index.html

  3. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles Fabrics inspired by nature. https://youtu.be/MFHcSrNRU5E Shark + Swimwear Observing the sandpaper like skin of sharks which helps them reduce drag companies such as Speedo produced a ‘fast line’ performance swimwear collection. First used in the 2000 Olympics which assisted in 13/15 world records. Lotus Effect When water is spilled onto a lotus leaf the water doesn’t soak the leaf, instead it beads up and rolls off the leaf. Scientists mimicked this effect into fabrics and sprays which would repel the water mimicking the Lotus leaf effect. Velcro Discovered by accident walking a dog. This material is used in LOTS of products. It enables one piece to join the other and was inspired by the burrs sticking to his dogs hair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSvHxyC950 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qz0fbfjvmo

  4. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles Fabrics inspired by nature. Dye free fabrics from butterflies Morpho butterflies have cobalt blue wings despite lacking colour pigment. This is an optical illusion. This technology has been used in textiles in the past but also mobile phone display screens so they can be viewed in any light conditions. Camouflage from squid. By expanding their pigment filled cells squids are able to change the colour & texture of their skin in relation to their surroundings. This has been incorporated into textiles to produce camouflage clothing which reacts to light. Spider Silk In 18th century France Spider silk was discovered and was silk weaved to create cloth. Incorporating spider silk means fabric is lightweight, yet very strong and is used to produce bulletproof clothing which is superior to Kevlar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBVA_i4R1VY https://youtu.be/PmDTtkZlMwM

  5. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles As you have just learnt nature has inspired fabrics and their properties. But throughout Art & Design history nature has been inspirational. Art Nouveau 1890-1910 Arts & Crafts 1890-1920

  6. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles Through both of these Art movements repeated patterns with nature inspiration are apparent. Art Nouveau 1890-1910 Arts & Crafts 1890-1920 From the OrlaKiely book,Patterns. Art Decomotif wallpaper A motifis arepetitive pattern or shape, often applied to clothes, carpets, lamp shades & arangeofotherproducts. Designers often use natural forms tohelpinspire adesign of motifs.

  7. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles • The designer takes each simplified shape andduplicates them, forming a repetitivepattern. • This is difficult, as shapes are not always symmetrical andcannot be arranged into repetitive patterns easily. How to use a mood board for designinspiration.

  8. Objective - Learner will gain knowledge and understanding of how biomimicry has inspired fashion & textiles. Biomimicry & Textiles Applying your knowledge & understanding of how nature has inspired textiles, produce a range of repeated pattern motifs via this exam paper question.
