Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and explore a range of drawing materials and processes to develop an individual professional style. This unit relates to drawing as an art form and differs from units that focus on drawing as a visual representation tool. It applies to highly skilled visual artists who integrate the use of those different materials and processes explored, to realise a body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements

  • 1. Research drawing materials and processes
  • 2. Select drawing materials and processes for exploration
  • 3. Integrate drawing materials and processes into own work
  • 4. Manage drawing materials

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to: - research the properties, capabilities and use of an extensive range of drawing materials to inform own work practice - refine the use of drawing materials through a process of thorough experimentation and practice to create a coherent body of drawing work which: - shows a command of chosen materials - demonstrates the development of an individual style - supports own ideas for work. 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: - describe intellectual property requirements relevant to producing drawing works - identify an extensive range of information sources that support research in drawing materials - describe, for an extensive range of materials used to produce drawings: - physical properties and capabilities - the characteristics of materials under different treatments and how they work to achieve different effects - limitations and constraints in achieving effects - describe how different materials and drawing techniques combine to achieve different technical effects - summarise supply sources for an extensive range of drawing materials used in professional practice - describe, for drawing materials, typical types, content and use of safety and technical data including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) - explain key safety requirements for drawing work.

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, tools and materials used to produce drawings - relevant information sources. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Academic Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
