The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally demonstrate a command of a broad range of techniques as the basis for experimentation and innovation. Techniques may include: | combination of erasing and layering of marks in a range of media digital drawing techniques layering of marks in a range of media overlapping or superimposing translucent marks over other translucent imagery using mixed drawing media and a range of techniques to produce drawings, e.g. 'wet' techniques over 'dry' techniques. |
|
Techniques for drawing may also include extending, building upon and combining the following techniques: | linear marks of differing intensity and character, e.g. thick, sharp, thin, curvilinear, soft (side of pencil or crayon) linear marks to produce illusion of 3D form simple linear perspective through the use of a vanishing point tonal range to produce illusion of 3D form. |
|
Materials may include: | charcoal fabrics of differing weights and textures glass, perspex or metal surfaces graphite ink and wash pastels and chalks pencils from H-HB, B-9B range of papers of differing weights and textures watercolour wood, board. |
|
Tools may include: | air brush blades brushes computer equipment, including graphic software, scanners and printers, discs, CDs rags scrapers spatulas |
| sponges sticks. |
|
Extending capabilities through: | experimentation encourages the exploration of the full potential of the art form and involves innovation. |
|
Particular safety or environmental issues may include: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards personal protection recycling safe disposal of waste. |
|
Research may involve: | approaching individuals with relevant expertise attending lectures and talks conducting material and technical experiments and tests seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers visiting exhibitions, museums. |
|
Intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements may relate to: | extent to which the work may be used procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyright protocols for the adaptation of work by others. |
|
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of design the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context the subject matter or theme for the drawings, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
|
Refining the conceptual vision may include: | adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of design adjustment to subject matter or theme adjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the technique no change. |
|
Sources of supply may include: | commercial outlets found objects or materials manufacturing or factory waste nature. |
|
Cost and other constraints may relate to: | availability of materials and tools budgeting sponsorship timeframe. |
|
Workplace requirements may include: | bench space, easels lighting ventilation. |
|
Issues of presentation may include: | cost practical consideration presentation context timeframe. |
|
Taking action may involve: | deciding on presentation method seeking external assistance, e.g. with framing selecting and preparing work for presentation. |
