Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan painting work through exploration
   • Explore ideas and techniques for own paintings in consultation with key people as required
   • Review historical and contemporary painting practice as a potential source of ideas
   • Clarify and confirm ideas for paintings based on exploration, discussion and consideration of intellectual property requirements
   • Assess capabilities of painting techniques through practice and systematic testing and adaption on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress
   • Select techniques that best support ideas for own work
2. Prepare, maintain and store painting resources
   • Calculate, select and organise type and quantity of painting equipment, tools and materials based on the needs of the chosen work
   • Prepare, maintain and dispose of equipment, tools and materials according to workplace safety and sustainability requirements
   • Clean and store equipment, tools and materials according to specific needs of different items
3. Create finished paintings
   • Use and adapt combined painting techniques to create desired effects, considering and applying elements and principles of design
   • Review work in progress and make adjustments, as required, to produce final work
   • Handle equipment, tools and materials safely and minimise waste throughout all processes
   • Add value to current and future work process by documenting the work progress
   • Liaise with others to obtain and consider feedback on technical proficiency of work and success in communicating ideas

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

explore ideas, techniques and historical and contemporary jewellery-making practice and choose techniques to support own work

identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work

adapt and use combined painting techniques to create a single major work or multiple paintings that show technical proficiency in chosen techniques

review and document the work process.

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

outline basic intellectual property considerations when producing paintings

outline methods of exploring techniques to achieve different effects in paintings

summarise the main aspects of historical and contemporary panting practice and how they can inform own design ideas

describe, for the elements and principles of design, the key characteristics, key interrelationships and use in paintings

summarise, for a range of tools and equipment used to produce paintings, key physical features and uses, cleaning and maintenance techniques and storage requirements

describe the physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials and techniques used to produce paintings

discuss typical work space requirements for producing paintings including ways of organising space and equipment for efficient work operation

describe procedures for working safely with painting materials, tools and equipment.
