calculate material requirements

planning and organising skills to plan work tasks and resources

problemsolving skills to identify and resolve technical and conceptual issues in painting work

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool

Required knowledge

role of experimentation in developing and refining ideas for painting and how this relates to the development of an individual style or voice

ways to adapt extend and combine the capabilities of a wide range of painting materials and techniques

physical properties and capabilities of an extended range of materials and tools used in painting

characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects

elements and principles of design and how they may be used, adapted and challenged in painting work

research methodologies used by artists

historical and theoretical contexts for painting and how they may be used to inform individual practice

sources of raw partprocessed and processed painting materials

sources of other resources needed in a professional painting practice

intellectual property issues and legislation to be considered by independent arts practitioners

sustainability considerations for the professional operation of a painting practice

OHS requirements for the setup and operation of a painting work space

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 ideas and techniques through a process of research and experimentation

produce multiple finished paintings or a single major work that demonstrate a command of techniques

apply knowledge of painting techniques equipment and materials and the ways they may be adapted and combined

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment materials and tools 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 painting 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 for example

CUVPRPA Realise a creative project

CUVPRP401A Realise a creative project.

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.

Paintingmay 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.
Techniques may include:	chiaroscuro experimenting with: 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 surface 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 fugato graffito layering using resist monoprinting scumbling stencilling and masking trompe l’oeil variation in paint application.
Tools and equipment may include:	brushes cameras computer and software applications knives photocopiers printers rags rollers scrapers spatulas sponges spray painting equipment sticks.
Materials may include:	binders and extenders encaustic film gesso and impasto glues inks modelling paste oil-based paints tempera water-based paints: acrylics gouache watercolour.
Safety and sustainability considerations may include:	federal, state and territory legislation, regulations and standards personal protection recycling safe disposal of waste.
Research may involve:	approaching individuals with relevant expertise attending lectures and talks conducting material and technical experiments and tests searching the internet seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers and catalogues visiting exhibitions and museums.
Ideas may be influenced by:	artistic aspirations 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.
Intellectual property requirements may relate to:	copyright extent to which the work may be used form of acknowledgement or credit moral rights procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others protocols for the adaptation of work by others.
Professional potentialmay relate to:	cost of production existence of an established market how to promote or sell the work market trends professional development.
Other criteria may relate to:	client and user expectations duration environment in which paintings will be viewed materials quality of final product techniques timelines tools.
Process followed to refine ideas may include:	adjustment to subject matter or theme adjustment to take account of elements and principles of design adjustment to use extended capabilities of techniques.
Sources of supply may include:	commercial outlets found objects and materials manufacturing or factory waste nature.
Cost and other constraints may relate to:	availability of materials and tools budgeting sponsorship timeframe.
Presentation considerations may include:	availability of space cost practical considerations presentation context timeframe.
