This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce drawings which represent and communicate the concept. This is a core unit which complements all the specialisation units. It is different from the drawing specialisation units which focus on drawing as an art form. This unit goes beyond the scope of CUVCOR07B Use drawing techniques to represent the object or idea in terms of the complexity of techniques and representation. This work would usually be carried out under supervision.This is a core unit which underpins many other specialisation units.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
