Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Develop ideas for public artworks
   • Explore a broad range of information relevant to public art
   • Critically evaluate findings in the context of own practice and the work of others
   • Collaborate with relevant people about public art projects
   • Evaluate potential or actual sites and the practical and creative relationships between site and work
   • Consider practical and organisational issues associated with public art
   • Refine and confirm ideas for public art based on research, reflection and collaboration with others
2. Experiment with techniques and media for integration in public art
   • Explore and experiment with a broad range of advanced techniques and materials, tools and equipment to achieve different effects
   • Assess safety and sustainability issues for different techniques and media
   • Adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches and comply with intellectual property requirements
3. Organise resources for public artwork
   • Identify specific resource requirements for the chosen work
   • Research sources of supply for the art work
   • Evaluate costs and other constraints that impact on development of the work
   • Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements
4. Create the work
   • Create public artwork using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation, considering and applying elements and principles of design
   • Evaluate and respond to the potential for change as work progresses
   • Proactively identify and resolve technical problems in projects
   • Handle equipment, tools and materials safely, minimising and safely disposing of waste throughout production
5. Evaluate own work
   • Regularly review work in progress to evaluate effectiveness in meeting personal, professional and artistic objectives
   • Identify and respond to opportunities for refinement and re-thinking
   • Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the work process
   • Evaluate finished work for coherence with project concept, technical resolution and suitability for intended purpose

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

research and select ideas for public artworks through research and collaboration with others

identify and coordinate required resources for selected ideas

explore and experiment with a range of advanced techniques to create multiple public artworks or a single major work that:

meets the requirements of particular sites

demonstrates command of advanced techniques

considers and complies with legislative requirements

review and evaluate work against objectives.

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

summarise the main aspects of historical and contemporary public artwork and how they can inform own design ideas

describe features of different types of sites and key considerations for developing works of art to suit

explain different roles and responsibilities of people typically involved in public art

describe how the elements and principles of design may be applied and challenged when creating art for public spaces

explain key safety requirements for public space artwork.
