ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare digital imaging resources

1.1 Identify and obtain tools, equipment and materialsused to create digital images

1.2 Prepare tools, equipment and materials according to workplace proceduresand safety requirements

1.3 Set upa safework space with guidance from key people

2. Use and test digital imaging techniques

2.1 View a range of digital images in different styles produced by key practitioners and discuss with others how these effects are achieved

2.2 Match potential techniques for producing images to own ideas with assistance from key people

2.3 Test nominated techniques to determine the effects they achieve

2.4 Use selected techniques and safe work practices to produce digital images

2.5 Clean work space and equipment and return to original condition

3. Make plans to develop skills

3.1 Seek and use feedback from key people on own digital imaging work and identify areas for improvement

3.2 Review different opportunities to build own skills and select suitable options

Evidence of the ability to:

produce a series of digital images where the techniques and materials support the idea for the work

discuss the process for producing video art with others

review own progress to identify ways to further develop skills.

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

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the function and capabilities of materials, tools and equipment commonly used for digital imaging

outline the major styles of digital imaging and the work of key practitioners

describe a range of digital imaging techniques

describe safe cleaning techniques for tools and equipment used in producing digital images

outline procedures for working safely with digital materials, tools and equipment.

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:

tools, equipment, materials for producing digital images

information sources.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
