Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to proactively experiment and innovate with various printmaking techniques and design concepts to develop professional practice, form an individual style and produce finished prints.The unit applies to those who have well developed skills in design and technique and who often produce work at a preprofessional level for sale in outlets such as markets and fairs. They work independently with limited supervision and guidance as required.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop proficiency with a range of printmaking techniques and media
  • 1.1 Evaluate potential for new approaches to printmaking based on capabilities of known techniques
  • 1.2 Achieve different effects by introducing and adapting new equipment, tools and materials
  • 1.3 Extend own capability with printmaking techniques through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress
  • 1.4 Assess safety and sustainability issues for different techniques and media
2. Develop ideas for printmaking
  • 2.1 Research, adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners and comply with intellectual property requirements
  • 2.2 Use knowledge of different printmaking techniques to inform ideas and discuss with required personnel
  • 2.3 Evaluate how different techniques and ideas can best work together
  • 2.4 Assess the professional potential and presentation requirements of own work
  • 2.5 Refine and confirm ideas based on research, experimentation and collaboration with others
3. Organise printmaking resources
  • 3.1 Identify specific resource requirements for print work
  • 3.2 Research potential sources of supply for printmaking resources
  • 3.3 Evaluate cost and other constraints that impact on development of the work
  • 3.4 Evaluate and respond to presentation considerations for finished prints
  • 3.5 Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements
4. Create finished prints
  • 4.1 Create prints using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation
  • 4.2 Review and refine ideas and approaches based on ongoing experience with production of own work
  • 4.3 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely; minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout all processes
  • 4.4 Document development of own work and the research and ideas that informed it
5. Evaluate own printmaking work
  • 5.1 Reflect on own conceptual development and technical execution of work
  • 5.2 Identify areas for future skill development and options to learn
  • 5.3 Discuss completed work with others and consider all feedback
