Google links for CUVDES01A - Apply colour theory in response to a brief

Elements and Performance Criteria

Examine information on colour theory
- Identify and access sources of information on colour theory relevant to the brief
- Use knowledge of colour theory to inform work as required by the brief
Apply colour theories to produce samples

Required Skills

Evidence Required

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills

general knowledge of the role and nature of a brief within the design process including different types of brief and how designers use them

awareness of the notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process and the potential limitations of theory

knowledge about the materials tools and equipment required to apply colour theory

workspace organisation and maintenance including environmental and safety issues

colour attributes and colour relationships

knowledge about how other artists and designers use colour in their work

awareness of different colour theories and their applications to different contexts

awareness of emotional cultural and situational aspects of colour

copyright moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on aspects of design

literacy skills sufficient to interpret a brief

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and proportions and to determine layout issues

Linkages to other units

This unit underpins many specialisation units both within the Visual Arts Craft and Design Training Package and other Training Packages eg Entertainment It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with those units

Critical aspects of evidence

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

production of a range of samples which apply colour theory in accordance with the requirements of the brief

fundamental understanding of colour theory

Method and context of assessment

The assessment context must provide for

project or work activities that allow the candidate to access and apply colour theory knowledge to a specific context

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

evaluation of samples

questioning and discussion

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate

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

Range Statement

The following explanations identify how this unit may be applied in different workplaces, sectors and circumstances.

The brief:

describes and specifies the work to be completed

is usually prepared by commissioning body or organisation (could be supervisor, client, community organisation)

may be written, diagrammatic, visual, verbal.

Sources of information on colour theory may include:

books and magazines

art and design work

scientific texts

anecdotal sources, personal observation

characteristics of materials, e.g. paints, pigments.

Materials may include:

a range of papers

cardboard

gouache, watercolour, acrylic

pastels, colour pencils, crayons

glue

lighting materials.

Tools and equipment may include:

light sources/equipment.

Colour theory samples may be exercises in response to a brief and may involve:

colour grading

colour scales

colour attributes in hue, chroma, value

effective colour relationships, e.g. harmonies and discords

colour schemes

colour models (emotional, physical and psychological effects of colour)

the application of light, e.g. in a theatrical context.

Colour samples may be:

transitory, e.g. natural and artificial lighting effects

drawn, painted, printed.

Producing samples may also involve the application of colour theory to a work in progress.

Safe procedures are in accordance with Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.
