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.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - list and describe a range of drawing techniques, including the limitations and constraints of each technique - explain the factors that influence selection of drawing technique - explain the criteria that could be used to evaluate ones own skills in using selected drawing techniques - identify and explain the potential of different techniques to achieve different effects relevant to own area of practice - describe typical problems and challenges in the application of selected techniques - explain the work health and safety considerations for drawing.

Assessment

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - equipment, materials and tools used to produce drawings - interaction with relevant people. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
