ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Research painting materials and processes

1.1 Research ways that other artists have used different painting materials and processes to achieve different effects, identifying intellectual property requirements

1.2 Research physical properties and capabilities of a range of painting materials

1.3 Investigate how different materials and painting techniques best combine to achieve different technical effects

1.4 Investigate safety issues associated with different materials and processes

1.5 Collate and store safety and technical data to meet safety requirements for painting work

1.6 Determine cost and supply issues for different materials

2. Select painting materials and processes for exploration

2.1 Seek and participate in professional discussions about characteristics and opportunities of particular painting materials and processes

2.2 Evaluate creative and professional opportunities offered by different painting materials and processes for own approach to work

2.3 Identify and assess limitations and constraints of particular materials and processes

2.4 Select a particular range of materials and processes that suit own practice

3. Integrate painting materials and processes into own work

3.1 Explore own new and different ways of working with materials and processes to achieve new effects and desired outcomes

3.2 Challenge and stretch the capabilities and uses of different materials and processes through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress

3.3 Proactively identify and resolve technical problems with material use

3.4 Develop own ways of working with materials and processes to create individual style

3.5 Develop a coherent body of painting work that shows command of selected painting materials

3.6 Use safe work practices for handling materials and disposal of waste

4. Manage painting materials

4.1 Establish supply of painting materials which meets price, quality and delivery expectations

4.2 Develop ways of working with materials that minimise waste

4.3 Maintain quality and maximise shelf-life of painting materials through appropriate handling and storage
