Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication skills to discuss ideas for paintings with others

learning skills to

improve techniques to produce paintings through practice and some experimentation

respond constructively to feedback

literacy skills to read and interpret information about historical and contemporary painting practice

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce paintings

selfmanagement skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work

Required knowledge

ways of exploring techniques and materials to achieve different effects in painting

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials tools and equipment used in painting

work space requirements for painting including ways of organising and maintaining space

cleaning maintenance and storage procedures for painting tools materials and equipment

historical and theoretical contexts for painting

elements and principles of design and their particular application to painting work

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

sustainability considerations associated with the use of painting tools materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to painting work

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 multiple paintings or a single major work that shows some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt the capabilities of painting techniques and resources

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

tools equipment and materials used to produce paintings

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 technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of paintings in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidates intentions and 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 for example

CUVPRPA Produce creative work

CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.

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.

Ideas may be influenced by:	current capability with techniques historical and theoretical contexts subject matter or theme for the work, such as: built environment land and place natural world political, cultural and social issues the body spiritual concerns.
Techniques may include:	building on or combining techniques, such as: application of a particular colour range and linear work to produce expressive paintings linear marks of different intensity and character paint application to produce tactile surfaces use of a range of brushes to achieve different lines and strokes use of colour and tone to create illusion of forms in space use of positive and negative space chiaroscuro graffito layering using resist monoprinting paint application to produce tactile surface stencilling and masking variation in paint application.
Paintingsmay be in different genres and styles including:	genres: everyday scenes (genre painting) history landscape portraiture still life styles: encaustic fresco gouache ink and wash oil panel tempera watercolour.
Key peoplemay include:	mentors other artists peers supervisors teachers.
Strategies used to assess the capabilities of techniques may involve:	experimenting directly onto work in progress producing test pieces or samples systematically testing a range of processes.
Tools and equipment may include:	brushes knives rags rollers scrapers spatulas sponges spray painting equipment sticks.
Materials may include:	a range of glues acrylic paints bark binders and extenders boards canvas cardboard fabric gesso and impasto glass gouache metal oil paints paper perspex shellac tempera watercolour wood.
Needs of the work may relate to:	availability of different resources budget creative goals preparation time process-specific requirements recycling safety sustainability.
