Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1.2 Prepare equipment, tools and materials according to procedures for workplace safety, cost control and waste minimisation

1.3 Set up a safe work space with guidance from key people

2. Use and test jewellery-making techniques

2.1 View a range of jewellery pieces in different styles, and discuss with key people how effects are achieved

2.2 Match potential techniques to ideas for own jewellery pieces with assistance from key people

2.3 Test a range of techniques to determine the effects they achieve through experimentation with samples, practice pieces or work in progress

2.4 Use selected techniques to produce fundamental jewellery pieces considering and applying elements and principles of design

2.5 Clean and store equipment, tools, and materials according to specific needs of different items

2.6 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely and minimise waste throughout all processes

3. Review work to develop skills

3.1 Review own jewellery pieces and note areas for future improvement

3.2 Seek and consider feedback from key people to identify areas for improvement

3.3 Review different opportunities to build own skills and select suitable options

  • outline, for a range of equipment and tools used to produce jewellery, key physical features and uses, cleaning techniques and storage requirements
  • outline the general features and use of a basic range of materials and techniques used to produce fundamental jewellery
  • outline typical work space requirements for producing fundamental jewellery including ways of organising space and equipment for efficient work operation
  • outline procedures for working safely with jewellery making materials, tools and equipment.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
