Unit of Competency CUAACD401 - Integrate colour theory and design processes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to investigate and combine colour theory and design processes into two-dimensional or three-dimensional work.It applies to individuals who use design processes in visual communication situations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

tools, materials and equipment used in the design process in the relevant context

information sources.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Research information on colour theory and design processes
  • Identify and access relevant sources of information on colour theory and design processes
  • Research historical and contemporary approaches to colour and design in the context of a work project
  • Evaluate information to determine how colour theory and design may be integrated into the design process
  • Consider intellectual property and other legislative requirements relevant to design processes
       
Element: Communicate ideas through the application of colour and design theory
  • Experiment with selected materials, tools and equipment to determine new ways in which colour theory and design processes may be integrated
  • Explore and develop new ideas through a process of experimentation
  • Achieve solutions by working with the elements and principles of design and different aspects of colour
       
Element: Evaluate design work
  • Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating concepts
  • Identify areas for future improvement, especially in terms of own skill development
  • Discuss completed work with others and respond positively to feedback
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Research information on colour theory and design processes

1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on colour theory and design processes

1.2 Research historical and contemporary approaches to colour and design in the context of a work project

1.3 Evaluate information to determine how colour theory and design may be integrated into the design process

1.4 Consider intellectual property and other legislative requirements relevant to design processes

2. Communicate ideas through the application of colour and design theory

2.1 Experiment with selected materials, tools and equipment to determine new ways in which colour theory and design processes may be integrated

2.2 Explore and develop new ideas through a process of experimentation

2.3 Achieve solutions by working with the elements and principles of design and different aspects of colour

3. Evaluate design work

3.1 Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating concepts

3.2 Identify areas for future improvement, especially in terms of own skill development

3.3 Discuss completed work with others and respond positively to feedback

Evidence of the ability to:

research colour theory and the design process and analyse findings

use practical exploration and experimentation to enhance idea development

apply colour theory and design processes to communicate ideas in projects

use strategies to evaluate work outcomes.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain how differences in individual perception and choice within the design process influences final outcomes

discuss the effects of rigid application of colour theory to design processes and project outcomes

explain ways in which colour theory and design processes can be explored and combined to meet the needs of a project

list a range of materials, tools and equipment required for the production of samples that integrate colour theory and design processes

explain how other artists and designers have applied colour theory and design processes to their work

summarise intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on aspects of design.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
