Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication skills to discuss technical and conceptual aspects of creative work

critical thinking and analytical skills to make judgements about use of the human form and its depiction in a creative context

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by the human form

learning skills to develop and refine own approach to the use of the human form in practice

literacy skills to analyse complex and varied information about creative practice

problemsolving skills to identify and resolve technical problems with the representation or use of the human form in creative work

selfmanagement and planning skills to draw together research and experimentation processes for benefit of own work

technology skills to conduct webbased research

Required knowledge

historical and contemporary approaches to representation of the human form in creative practice

commonly used research methodologies for creative practitioners

techniques to represent or reflect the human form relevant to own area of practice

intellectual property legislation and issues associated with creative practice

skeletal and muscular aspects of human anatomy

sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in relevant creative practice

OHS requirements for relevant area of creative practice

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

develop an individual approach to the use of the human form in own work

produce a coherent body of creative work that shows ability to work effectively with the human form

research the representation of the human form in historical and contemporary contexts

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment materials and tools used in the relevant creative discipline

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 the use of the human form within a body of work produced by the candidate

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to explore use of the human form

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.

Information and ideas may come from:	artworks commercial briefs critical writing events exhibitions experiences of self or others films images internet music objects other people performances presentations printed texts technical information.
Representation and use of the human form may include:	2-D, such as paintings and drawings 3-D, such as sculpture, ceramics and jewellery particular aspects of the human form depicted in the work use of shape informed by the human form use of the human form as surface treatment.
Human physiology and anatomy may include:	focus on a particular part of the body, such as: muscular system skeletal system whole body.
Relevant ideas and information may relate to:	media new concepts for work techniques.
Coherent body of work:	may include: any 2-D or 3-D art form design work models props sets sketches virtual works is work that is: conceptually resolved documented in terms of its development subject to critical feedback by others technically resolved thematically connected.
Technical problems may relate to:	challenges of creating effects with particular media limitations of own technique level of detail required in the visual representation.
Ways in which technique may be further developed may include:	collaboration further study intensive workshops mentored guidance new projects.
