Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Evaluate own practice
   • Analyse the history and development of own practice from a technical and conceptual perspective
   • Identify and analyse the external influences that have shaped ideas and directions in current work
   • Evaluate own relationship with work and how this has evolved over time
   • Analyse how personal experiences and factors have affected work and the ideas that inform it
   • Involve others in the evaluation of own practice to broaden own perspectives
2. Develop ideas and thinking
   • Use practical work, experimentation and critical thinking as part of the creative process
   • Integrate new processes and ideas into the evolving work in ways that effectively communicate key messages and refine the work
   • Deepen or broaden contextual research to support the generation and maturation of ideas
   • Collaborate with other professional practitioners about ideas and research
   • Produce experimental pieces, unfinished and finished works that reflect evolving ideas, resolving conceptual and technical issues that may arise within the work
3. Integrate ideas and professional opportunities
   • Evaluate own professional goals and aspirations and how they might be affected by new and evolving ideas
   • Develop new work projects and opportunities based on reflection, research and experimentation

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

develop ideas in professional work through a demonstrated process of evaluation, research and practice

resolve conceptual and technical issues as work progresses

evaluate own work in terms of its coherence and place in a professional practice, and discuss with others at a professional level.

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