Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to proactively experiment and innovate with various ceramic techniques and design concepts to develop professional practice and an individual style. It involves developing proficiency with ceramics techniques, developing different ideas for ceramic works, organising required resources and finalising ceramic works.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 different ceramics techniques
  • 1.1 Evaluate potential for new approaches to ceramic work based on capabilities of known techniques
  • 1.2 Adapt or introduce new equipment, tools and materials to achieve different effects
  • 1.3 Extend own capability with ceramic techniques through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or work in progress
  • 1.4 Assess safety and sustainability issues for different equipment, tools, materials and techniques
2. Develop ideas for ceramic works
  • 2.1 Discuss creative and other goals for own ceramic work with others
  • 2.2 Research, adapt and use applicable ideas and approaches from other practitioners as required
  • 2.3 Establish ideas using knowledge of different ceramic techniques
  • 2.4 Determine how different techniques and ideas work together to meet idea requirements
  • 2.5 Assess the professional potential and presentation requirements of own work to inform ideas
  • 2.6 Refine and confirm ideas based on research, experimentation and collaboration with others
3. Organise ceramics resources
  • 3.1 Identify specific resource requirements for chosen work
  • 3.2 Research potential sources of supply for ceramic resources
  • 3.3 Evaluate cost and other applicable constraints that impact on development of work
  • 3.4 Evaluate and respond to presentation considerations for finished ceramic work
  • 3.5 Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements
4. Create finished ceramic works
  • 4.1 Create ceramic work according to idea requirements 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 Document development of own work and the research and ideas that informed it
5. Evaluate own ceramic works
  • 5.1 Reflect on own conceptual development and technical execution of the work
  • 5.2 Identify areas for future skill development and options to learn
  • 5.3 Discuss completed work with others and consider all feedback
