Unit of Competency | CUESCE04C - Use research, innovation and experimentation to produce scenic art |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with various techniques and media to achieve new scenic art effects. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | Scenic artists and designers in the entertainment and screen and media industries apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. Typically this process takes place after the creation of the overall set design, or it can be an integral part of the design process. This unit has linkages to other scenic art units and units within the Visual Arts, Craft and Design Training Package. Combined assessment and or training with some of those units may be appropriate.It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after other scenic art units which focus on the development of techniques. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

| Prerequisites/co-requisites | |||
| Competency Field | Visual communication - scenic art | ||

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.
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 | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: in depth knowledge of a wide range of techniques and media that may be used and adapted for scenic art ability to create innovative scenic art effects through appropriate research and experimentation. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: creative collaboration with others in a process to experiment with new techniques to achieve effects for a particular production requirement. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of effects developed by the candidate to meet a particular brief evaluation of ideas and methods developed by the candidate to create a range of different effects and production contexts oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of materials and techniques review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. 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 | Assessment of this unit requires access to: scenic elements, equipment and materials as identified in the Range Statement. |

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.
|
Required skills |
research skills and sources of information to inform research and experimentation on scenic art literacy skills sufficient to undertake research and interpret information and material from a broad range of sources numeracy skills sufficient to evaluate resource costs |
Required knowledge |
the expressive qualities of scenic art as it relates to the nature of the work, the style of the production and the qualities of the performance innovative and experimental scenic art production techniques in 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) ways in which highly effective interaction between the effects produced by scenic art and performance action can be achieved the behaviour of various materials, finishes, painting techniques and colours under lighting ways of adapting scenic art skills across styles, genres and art forms, including film, television, radio and live performance in dance, music, drama colour theory, line, dimension, chiaroscuro, depth and their application on the stage painting techniques, including water colour technique and opaque technique the use and properties of a range of paints and media testing finished and unfinished materials, such as fabric, leather, vinyl, plastic, foam, latex, found objects, straw, paper, and cardboard the properties and characteristics of a variety of materials before and after art finishing costs and costing processes for scenic art elements organisational and legislative occupational health and safety requirements particularly in relation to scenic art, e.g. fire-proofing copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation as they apply to scenic art environmental issues associated with tools and materials used in scenic art and potential issues associated with new approaches |
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. | |
Research may involve: | approaching individuals with relevant expertise conducting material and technical experiments and tests reviewing approaches of other practitioners reviewing work for other productions seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers visiting exhibitions, museums |
Techniques and methods used may include: | ageing anti-clogging techniques for scenic gauzes glazing marbling perspective pouncing preparation priming scaling up drawings stencilling, e.g. rollers and stamps traditional scene painting techniques for canvas transparent painting for silk and nessle cloths velour and velvet painting techniques woodgraining |
Intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements may relate to: | extent to which the work may be used 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 |
Scenic art elements may include: | canvas flats flooring and floor cladding, eg: tarkett flown pieces gauze large props, eg: furniture nessle rakes roster scaffolding silk soft drapes, eg: legs border, cycloramas, back drops, drops stairs synthetic fabrics, eg: plastics treads velour wool |
Materials used may include: | adhesives dyes fire retardant solvent-based paints stains texture mediums water-based paints |
Painting styles may include: | architectural figurative non-figurative |
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.
