Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Evaluate and select drawing technique
   • Examine the needs of own practice in terms of drawing technique
   • Consider the external factors that influence drawing in professional practice
   • Reflect on the commercial and artistic opportunities offered by having expertise in particular techniques
   • Consider the limitations and constraints of particular techniques
   • Select particular drawing techniques for refinementbased on their suitability for the purpose or for a particular brief
2. Refine selected drawing technique
   • Establish and follow safe work practices for selected technique
   • Extend the capability of the drawing technique
   • Develop own ways of working with the technique to create individual style
   • Identify and resolve technical problems with the drawing technique
3. Produce professional, finished drawings
   • Produce a body of drawings that shows command of, and confidence in, the selected technique
   • Produce drawings that are suited to the context in which they are to be used
   • Evaluate own drawings and reflect on professional development needs and opportunities
   • Seek feedback from others on own drawing technique and take action accordingly

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

evaluate and refine a selected drawing technique using practice and experimentation

produce finished drawings for professional work that show technical command and confidence with the selected technique

use reflection and feedback to identify professional development requirements and opportunities.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
