Create works of art for public spaces

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan for and execute creative work for exhibition in public spaces. It involves experimentation with a range of advanced techniques to create the work specifically for the site.

It applies to experienced artists, skilled in one or more art forms, who work both independently and collaboratively

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. Develop ideas for public artworks

1.1 Explore a broad range of information relevant to public art

1.2 Critically evaluate findings in the context of own practice and the work of others

1.3 Collaborate with relevant people about public art projects

1.4 Evaluate potential or actual sites and the practical and creative relationships between site and work

1.5 Consider practical and organisational issues associated with public art

1.6 Refine and confirm ideas for public art based on research, reflection and collaboration with others

2. Experiment with techniques and media for integration in public art

2.1 Explore and experiment with a broad range of advanced techniques and materials, tools and equipment to achieve different effects

2.2 Assess safety and sustainability issues for different techniques and media

2.3 Adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches and comply with intellectual property requirements

3. Organise resources for public artwork

3.1 Identify specific resource requirements for the chosen work

3.2 Research sources of supply for the art work

3.3 Evaluate costs and other constraints that impact on development of the work

3.4 Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements

4. Create the work

4.1 Create public artwork using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation, considering and applying elements and principles of design

4.2 Evaluate and respond to the potential for change as work progresses

4.3 Proactively identify and resolve technical problems in projects

4.4 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely, minimising and safely disposing of waste throughout production

5. Evaluate own work

5.1 Regularly review work in progress to evaluate effectiveness in meeting personal, professional and artistic objectives

5.2 Identify and respond to opportunities for refinement and re-thinking

5.3 Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the work process

5.4 Evaluate finished work for coherence with project concept, technical resolution and suitability for intended purpose

Evidence of the ability to:

research and select ideas for public artworks through research and collaboration with others

identify and coordinate required resources for selected ideas

explore and experiment with a range of advanced techniques to create multiple public artworks or a single major work that:

meets the requirements of particular sites

demonstrates command of advanced techniques

considers and complies with legislative requirements

review and evaluate work against objectives.

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 intellectual property considerations relevant to art works for public spaces

summarise the main aspects of historical and contemporary public artwork and how they can inform own design ideas

describe features of different types of sites and key considerations for developing works of art to suit

explain different roles and responsibilities of people typically involved in public art

describe how the elements and principles of design may be applied and challenged when creating art for public spaces

explain key safety requirements for public space artwork.

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 relevant to the art form

sites for which the artworks are designed

relevant information sources.

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