Unit of Competency | CUESCE06B - Use scenic art painting techniques |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use a range of painting techniques required for the production of scenic art. This unit builds on the unit CUESCE05B Apply a general knowledge of scenic art, and underpins other units which focus on the use of more advanced techniques to create special effects and the use of experimentation.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, painters and set making staff apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. Generally they work as members of set construction crews under the supervision of a workshop manager.They are responsible for painting and colouring a full range of textures associated with sets and props. Techniques vary but at this level, would generally be limited in range. They require a good understanding of scenic art processes, as well as an appreciation of artistic criteria.This unit also has linkages to a range of other scenic art units, and combined assessment and/or training would be appropriate. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
||
| Prerequisites/co-requisites | It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units:CUESCE05B Apply a general knowledge of scenic artCUVDES04B Integrate colour theory and design processes in response to a brief. | ||

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: safe and correct use of painting techniques which result in scenic art which meets production requirements knowledge of the properties of paints and equipment used in scenic art and the associated safety issues. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the production of a piece of scenic art using nominated painting techniques. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of the candidate using particular techniques evaluation of scenic art pieces produced by the candidate oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of applications of different techniques review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: painting materials, tools and equipment used for scenic art a workspace in which scenic art can be produced. |
