| 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. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally demonstrate a command of a broad range of techniques as the basis for experimentation and innovation. Techniques for the production of installation work may include the selection of a range of techniques from any medium or art form, or a combination of art forms. These could include: | ceramicsdigital, photographic, electronic processesdrawing, painting, print techniquessculpture, glass techniquessound, including:naturalelectronicvocal instrumentaltextile/fibre techniques. |

| power tools (drills, saws compressors)protective clothingsound recording and synthesising equipment, associated cabling. |
|
Extending capabilities through: | experimentation encourages the exploration of the full potential of the art form and involves innovation. |
|
Particular safety or environmental issues may include: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standardspersonal protectionrecyclingsafe disposal of waste. |
|
Research may involve: | approaching individuals with relevant expertiseattending lectures and talksconducting material and technical experiments and testsseeking out information in books, journals, newspapersvisiting exhibitions, museums. |
|
Intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements may relate to: | extent to which the work may be usedprocedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyrightprotocols for the adaptation of work by others. |
|
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of designthe relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical contextthe subject matter or theme for the installation work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
|
Refining the conceptual vision may include: | adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of designadjustment to subject matter or themeadjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the techniqueno change. |
