Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Research digital media ideas and techniques
   • Support professional practice by expanding own knowledge of historical and contemporary digital media practice
   • Research ways that other artists have used different digital media techniques
   • Investigate how particular digital media techniques work to achieve different technical effects
   • Evaluate the relationships between digital media techniques and ideas
   • Adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches in own practice, with consideration for intellectual property rights
2. Select digital media techniques for refinement
   • Evaluate the opportunities offered by different digital media techniques for own professional practice
   • Determine limitations and constraints of particular digital media techniques
   • Select digital media technique for refinement
3. Consolidate digital media technique to professional level
   • Develop confidence and skill in using digital media technique through practice and experimentation
   • Identify and safely resolve technical problems in digital media projects based on developing expertise
   • Challenge and test own ideas
   • Create a coherent body of digital media work that reflects individual style and shows command of selected digital media techniques
4. Evaluate own digital media technique
   • Seek feedback from key people to evaluate the development of own technique
   • Discuss with key people concepts and approaches that challenge own individual style
   • Document ways that experimentation with different techniques has informed own work
   • Identify ways in which techniques may be further developed as part of professional practice and build ideas into future work

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

research and evaluate digital media techniques that can be applied to own style

evolve and refine use of digital media techniques through experimentation and document how experiments have informed own work

produce a coherent body of professional digital artwork that demonstrates developing expertise and individual style

evaluate own performance and techniques to identify opportunities for own creative practice.

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

Knowledge Evidence

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

describe the relationship between digital media technique, particular effects and ideas in the work of relevant artists and in the context of own practice

identify a range of information sources that support research in digital media techniques

outline the intellectual property considerations relevant to producing digital media works

explain key safety requirements for digital media work.
