CUVVSP34B
Apply techniques to produce paintings
Application
Not Applicable
Prerequisites
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with: CUVCOR01B Source concept for own work; or CUVCOR02B Develop and articulate concept for own work CUVCOR07B Use drawing techniques to represent the object or idea; or CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept. It could also be assessed in conjunction with: CUVCOR11B Source information on history and theory and apply to own area of work. Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.: CUVCRS13B Store finished work | |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Prepare and maintain physical resources for painting. | 1.1 Correctly identify and select tools, equipment and materials required for the production of paintings. 1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements. 1.3 Organise and maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe. |
1.4 Store tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements. | |
2 Use and test painting techniques. | 2.1 Safely use techniques for the production of paintings. 2.2 Use and test nominated techniques to determine the capability of the technique and its application. |
3 Produce the paintings. | 3.1 Drawconcept for the proposed paintings based on own ideas or supplied information. 3.2 Correctly identify the steps and resources required to produce the proposed paintings. 3.3 Select appropriate tools, equipment and materials for the specific paintings. 3.4 Calculate correct quantities of materials required and minimise waste where possible. 3.5 Use techniques, tools and materials safely to produce the final paintings. |
Required Skills
Required skills: literacy skills sufficient to read product and equipment safety labels numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and cost of materials. |
Required knowledge: general knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of the most commonly used materials, tools and equipment for painting general knowledge of different styles of painting and the work of key practitioners overview knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design introductory knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for painting typical work space and equipment requirements for the production of different types of painting cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in painting awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues environmental issues associated with the tools, materials and equipment used in painting organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to painting. |
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. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of paintings which demonstrates a command of nominated techniques and which reflects the concept general knowledge of tools, materials and equipment used in painting. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce a minimum of one painting. |
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 work in progress questioning and discussion of candidate's intentions and work written or verbal reports review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) 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). |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce paintings. |
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. | |
Tools and equipment may include: | brushes knives rags rollers scrapers (found or made) spatulas sponges sticks. |
Materials may include: | acrylic paints bark canvas cardboard fabric glues impasto medium natural ochres paper perspex tempera watercolour wood. |
Workplace procedures may relate to such things as: | process-specific procedures recycling safety use of materials. |
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to: | bench space easels lighting ventilation wet and dry areas. |
Within this unit the range of techniques used would generally be quite limited in nature and may include: | application of a particular colour range and linear work to produce expressive paintings linear marks of different intensity paint application to produce tactile surface tonal range to produce illusion of 3D use of a range of brushes to achieve different lines and strokes variation in paint application. |
Testing techniques may include: | exploring techniques by making practice pieces making samples applying nominated techniques testing techniques directly with work in progress. |
Drawing may include: | drawings on paper drawings or markings directly onto work in progress electronic imaging. |
The concept for the proposed painting may be influenced by: | elements and principles of design the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
