Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce drawings through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form statement. This work would usually be carried out under limited supervision. It therefore differs from the units which relate to core drawing techniques for concept representation.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare and maintain resources to produce drawings.
  • 1.1 Correctly identify and select tools, and materials required for the production of drawings.1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain tools and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements.1.3 Organiseand maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe.
  • 1.4 Store tools and materials in accordance with relevant workplace and safety requirements.
2 Explore drawing techniques to plan work.
  • 2.1 Assess the capabilities of techniques, tools and materials for different types of drawings.2.2 Use and/or combine different techniques, tools and materials to determine and extend capabilities.2.3 Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed drawings based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information.2.4 Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision.2.5 Select techniques based on the conceptual vision.2.6 Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements.
3 Realise drawings.
  • 3.1 Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed drawings based on the plan of work.3.2 Safely use and adapt techniques, tools and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision.3.3 Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process.
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 may include:
blades
brushes
computer, scanner, printer and relevant software
discs, CDs
rags
scrapers
spatulas
sponges
sticks.

Materials may include:
charcoal
graphite
ink and wash
pastels and chalks
pencils from H-HB, B-9B
range of papers of differing weights and textures
watercolour
wood, board, fabrics of differing weights and textures, glass, perspex or metal surfaces.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:
cost control
process-specific procedures
recycling
reporting
safety
use of materials.

Safety requirements would be in accordance with:
Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:
lighting
wet and dry areas
working tables, easels.

Assessing the capabilities of the techniques, tools and materials may involve:
experimenting directly with work in progress
producing test pieces or samples
systematically testing a range of processes.

Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques which may include:
combination of erasing and layering of marks in a range of media
digital drawing techniques
layering of marks in a range of media
overlapping or superimposing translucent marks over other translucent imagery
using mixed drawing media and a range of techniques to produce drawings, e.g. 'wet' techniques over 'dry' techniques.

Techniques may also include extending and building upon the following techniques:
linear marks of differing intensity and character, e.g. thick, sharp, thin, curvilinear, soft (side of pencil or crayon)
linear marks to produce illusion of 3D form
simple linear perspective through the use of a vanishing point
tonal range to produce illusion of 3D form.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:
elements and principles of design
the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context
the subject matter or theme for the drawings, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to:
access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques
consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed drawings
ease of application of the techniques
personal affinity with the techniques.
EVIDENCE GUIDE
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
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
production of drawings which demonstrates a command of selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision
knowledge of materials and tools and how they are used and extended in drawing.

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 multiple drawings or a single major work.

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 drawings in progress
questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work outcome
verbal and written 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 and resources needed to produce drawings.
