Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop 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 and CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept in terms of the complexity of skill requirement, use of techniques and sophistication of 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.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Research suitable drawing techniques for representing the concept.
- 1.1 Identify appropriate sources of information relating to a range of techniques and materials and their application to the communication of a concept.1.2 Systematically gather and organise the information.1.3 Evaluate information in terms of the application of techniques and materials to the concept.1.4 Select a range of possible techniques taking into account communication of the concept and the presentation context.
2 Determine purpose for drawings.
- 2.1 Identify purpose, scope and presentation context of drawing requirements.2.2 Identify any technical requirements or specifications.2.3 Select a range of possible techniques taking into account communication of the concept and the presentation context.
3 Explore drawing techniques and produce drawings.
- 3.1 Select appropriate materials and tools for drawing.3.2 Draw the concept using the range of selected techniques.3.3 Evaluate suitability of each technique in terms of its success in communicating the concept within the presentation context.3.4 Select the drawing/s which best communicate/s the concept within the presentation context.3.5 Prepare drawing/s for the identified presentation context.

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:
production of a series of drawings which demonstrate a command of the selected techniques and which successfully communicate the concept.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills using selected tools and materials to produce and present drawings which represent and communicate the concept.
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 production of drawings
evaluation of drawings
questioning and discussion about candidate's intentions and the work outcome
verbal or written reports
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performances by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to apply drawing techniques to represent and communicate the concept.
This unit has linkages to all the specialisation units in the Visual Arts Craft and Design Training Package, and to units from other Training Packages.
