The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally demonstrate a command of a broad range of techniques as the basis for experimentation and innovation. Techniques for the production of installation work may include the selection of a range of techniques from any medium or art form, or a combination of art forms. These could include: | ceramics digital, photographic, electronic processes drawing, painting, print techniques sculpture, glass techniques sound, including: natural electronic vocal instrumental textile/fibre techniques. |
|
Materials may include: | darkroom chemicals and emulsions, film found objects glues materials for casting materials for embedding nails, screws, bolts, hooks natural and synthetic fibres, range of fabrics, e.g. cotton, linen, silk, synthetic fabrics, tapa cloth, recycled paper fibres, other processed plant fibres papers, fabrics, board, glass, perspex, plaster, sand, latex water and oil-based paints, extenders and binders, gesso, tempera, gouache, coloured pencils, pastels, inks, charcoal wood, clay, metals, rubber, plastics, glass, stone. |
|

| power tools (drills, saws compressors) protective clothing sound recording and synthesising equipment, associated cabling. |
|
Extending capabilities through: | experimentation encourages the exploration of the full potential of the art form and involves innovation. |
|
Particular safety or environmental issues may include: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards personal protection recycling safe disposal of waste. |
|
Research may involve: | approaching individuals with relevant expertise attending lectures and talks conducting material and technical experiments and tests seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers visiting exhibitions, museums. |
|
Intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements may relate to: | extent to which the work may be used procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyright protocols for the adaptation of work by others. |
|
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of design the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context the subject matter or theme for the installation work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
|
Refining the conceptual vision may include: | adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of design adjustment to subject matter or theme adjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the technique no change. |
|
Sources of supply may include: | commercial outlets found objects or materials manufacturing or factory waste nature. |
|
Cost and other constraints may relate to: | availability of materials and tools budgeting requirements to seek building or development approval sponsorship timeframe. |
|
Workplace requirements may include: | electricity lighting process specific space needs ventilation wet/dry areas. |
