Investigate technologies for the creation of digital art

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to further application of technologies in own creative practice.

It applies to individuals who produce creative digital media work or integrate digital and traditional media. Their technology exploration is conducted independently with mentoring and guidance as required.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Research digital technologies

1.1 Evaluate current, emerging and experimental digital technologies and equipment relevant to artistic practice

1.2 Research the capabilities of different digital technologies and equipment to achieve different effects

1.3 Determine cost and supply issues for particular technologies and equipment

2 Select digital technologies for in-depth exploration

2.1 Assess the creative and professional opportunities offered by particular technologies

2.2 Determine limitations and constraints of particular technologies

2.3 Discuss with key people the characteristics and opportunities of particular digital art technologies

2.4 Select technologiesthat suit own artistic practice and apply safely

3 Integrate technologies into own work

3.1 Experiment with technologies to challenge and extend their capabilities for use in own artistic works

3.2 Develop own ways of working with technologies to achieved desired outcomes

4 Manage digital technologies in professional practice

4.1 Establish systems to maintain currency of knowledge of digital art technologies

4.2 Maintain the quality and life of equipment and consumables through appropriate handling and storage procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

research, experiment with and integrate technologies to create individual styles of digital art

use and adapt technologies in ways that support coherence of own creative works.

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:

explain the ways in which a range of digital technologies and processes are used, adapted, combined and challenged by professional artists in contemporary practice

list cost and supply parameters issues for different technologies and types of equipment to support professional practice

explain storage requirements and options for different materials used in digital work

describe ways to remain informed of changes in digital art technologies

explain key safety requirements for digital technologies in an art context.

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 and materials required for exploring technologies for the creation of digital art

relevant information sources.

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