Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication and teamwork skills to

engage in critical discourse about creative objectives

work collaboratively with others on the production of public art

initiative and enterprise skills to

experiment with techniques to produce effects that enhance the final work

apply critical thinking and analytical skills when developing ideas for public art

learning skills to

refine and improve a range of techniques

evaluate quality of own work and identify ways to enhance own practice

literacy skills to interpret information and material about the work of other artists involved in the production of public art

numeracy skills to evaluate resource costs

selfmanagement and planning skills to

undertake research to inform experimentation in public art

plan work tasks so that all deadlines are met

technical skills to evaluate adapt and integrate a range of public art techniques

technology skills to search the internet for information to assist with the development of public art

Required knowledge

different types of public art

factors that affect the relationship between public artworks and the sites where they are located

different roles and responsibilities of people typically involved in public art

practical and organisational considerations for different types of public art

historical and theoretical contexts for public artwork and how they may be used to inform own ideas for work

legislative requirements for development approval or building consent

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

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with public artwork

sustainability considerations for public art in relation to different types of project and sites

typical safety issues that apply to the creation of public art

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 examples of resolved public artwork that show welldeveloped command of selected techniques processes and materials

apply knowledge of the particular issues that need to be considered in creating works of art for public spaces

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

a spacelocation in which to install and exhibit public art

relevant tools materials and equipment

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

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

evaluation of technical execution of work produced by the candidate

evaluation of the work documentation

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

CUVACDA Refine D design ideas and processes

CUVACD506A Refine 2-D design ideas and processes

CUVACDA Refine D design ideas and processes

CUVACD507A Refine 3-D design ideas and processes

refine technique specialisation units

investigate materials and processes specialisation units

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.

Public art:	may consist of work that is: devised by an individual artist the outcome of a community development process the result of a collaboration between artists may involve: animation architectural forms digital and video work ephemeral art floor pieces incorporation of the natural environment light work murals sculptures in time and space site-specific work sound work textile installations use of water wall pieces.
Relevant people may include:	clients colleagues industry practitioners local government personnel managers mentors performers representatives from commissioning body supervisors volunteers.
Practical and organisational issues may relate to:	client and user expectations environment in which public art will be viewed local government and planning authority regulations materials quality of final product timelines tools weather considerations.
Research may involve:	approaching individuals with relevant expertise attending lectures and talks conducting community consultation conducting material and technical experiments and tests establishing a management plan identifying and investigating a range of public artworks searching the internet seeking out information in books, journals and newspapers visiting exhibitions, museums and theatres.
Safety and sustainability considerations may include:	audience safety federal, state and territory legislation, regulations and standards need for a conservation plan personal protection recycling requirements to seek approval or permission safe disposal of waste.
Intellectual property requirements may relate to:	copyright laws design licensing regulations extent to which the work may be used form of acknowledgement or credit moral right laws procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyright protocols for the adaptation of work by others trademarks regulations.
Cost and other constraints may relate to:	availability of materials and tools budgeting geography or location requirements for development or building consent sponsorship timeframe weather.
Sources of supply may include:	commercial outlets found objects and materials manufacturing or factory waste nature.
Opportunities for refinement and re-thinking may relate to:	collaboration ideas materials processes techniques workflow.
Efficiency and effectiveness may relate to:	aesthetic quality of the work completion on budget completion on time positive or negative impact on own health success in communicating ideas technical standard of work.
Coherence with the project concept may relate to:	connection of ideas within the work connections or divergence in process between initial concept and final product materials processes techniques.
