ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Originate ideas for public art

1.1 Use own creative impulse or brief supplied by others to develop ideas for work

1.2 Research and explore relevant ideas and creative associations for the work

1.3 Evaluate site requirements and develop responses to accommodate practical requirements and constraints

1.4 Explore options for materials, technologies and processes to fulfil creative, site and brief requirements

1.5 Collaborate with others to maximise contribution of project ideas and refine through an ongoing collaborative process

2. Articulate and present project ideas

2.1 Develop, critique and articulate creative responses to the objectives of the brief and site requirements

2.2 Use guidelines to develop formal presentation of concept proposal and supporting documentation

2.3 Present the design proposal with supporting documentation and practical planning data to the client, sponsor or selection panel

2.4 Evaluate and re-work aspects of the proposal, as required

3. Plan and document work in response to the site and the brief

3.1 Plan construction to meet specific site requirements and deadline for delivery

3.2 Engage with key stakeholders in the public art project to ensure all requirements are met

3.3 Represent planning and preparatory work using presentation mechanisms suited to the project

4. Create the public artwork

4.1 Integrate command of technique, materials and process to create public artwork that meets creative needs

4.2 Use critical and creative thought to challenge, adapt and refine the public artwork

4.3 Interrogate aspects of work in progress and participate in critical inquiry and discussion

4.4 Use safe and sustainable work practices throughout installation of the public artwork

5. Finalise the public art project

5.1 Liaise with relevant people on factors affecting the finalisation of the work

5.2 Bring together the disparate challenges of the public art project to complete work on time

5.3 Organise the installation of the work, engaging specialist expertise where necessary

6. Evaluate own work

6.1 Seek and evaluate feedback from others to improve own work

6.2 Evaluate work against planned strategy for own creative practice and objectives of the public artwork

6.3 Assess place of own work in relation to other public art practitioners

6.4 Adjust work processes and practice to improve technical, conceptual and commercial outcomes

Evidence of the ability to:

originate and present ideas about the art project in relevant contexts

create and finalise a complete public art project, including managing its creative, technical and organisational components

evaluate and discuss work in a professional context.

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:

list and describe features of potential sites for public art and the key requirements and constraints to consider for each site

describe the practical planning issues to be considered in public art projects

outline requirements for preparing and presenting proposals including format, supporting documentation, practical planning data and presentation mechanisms

describe key people involved in public art projects, their roles and interrelationships

explain the key safety requirements for public art projects

explain sustainability practices relevant to public art projects.

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) used to produce and install public art

a site at which to install and exhibit public art

information sources.

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