Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication skills to discuss technical aspects of drawing with others

critical thinking and analytical skills to make critical evaluations of own drawing technique

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different drawing techniques

learning skills to

develop and refine own drawing skills to a professional practice standard

evaluate and act on own development needs in terms of technique

literacy skills to analyse varied information about drawing technique

problemsolving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in drawing technique

selfmanagement and planning skills to create a body of drawings

technical skills to show command of chosen drawing techniques at a professional level

Required knowledge

capabilities of selected drawing technique

indicators of quality with the chosen technique

potential of different techniques to achieve different effects relevant to own area of practice

typical problems and challenges in application of the selected technique

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with drawing

sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in drawing

OHS requirements in relation to drawing

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to

produce finished drawings for professional work that show technical command and confidence with the selected technique

refine a selected drawing technique through a demonstrated process of practice and experimentation

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment materials and tools used to produce drawings

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

evaluation of drawing technique within a body of work produced by the candidate

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to evolve and refine technique

direct observation of work in progress including exploration of and experimentation with techniques

questioning and discussion about candidates intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of thirdparty reports from experienced practitioners

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended

Range Statement

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.

Drawing techniques may include:	caricature cartooning computer-aided drawing figure drawing observational drawing other digital drawing techniques technical drawing.
External factors may include:	availability of software established practice in particular area of work market expectations.
Opportunities may relate to:	commercial potential communication of ideas personal affinity with particular techniques potential for combining techniques potential for interactions between technique and media themes in work.
Limitations and constraints may relate to:	availability of materials capacity of technique to deliver required effect own interaction with technique resources, such as the cost of purchasing software time.
Refinement relates to:	ability to use technique with confidence ability to maximise the creative potential.
Safe work practices may include:	correct disposal of waste materials ergonomic safety managing risk use of tools and equipment use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Technical problems may include:	implications of scale and size limitations of materials limitations of processes or technology.
Command and confidence relate to:	creation of work at a professional standard sound understanding of technique technical ability wide range of techniques.
Professional development needs and opportunities may include:	collaboration further study intensive workshops mentored guidance new projects.
