ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Develop proficiency with a range of woodworking techniques and media

1.1 Evaluate potential for new approaches to woodwork 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 woodworking techniques through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress

1.4 Assess safety and sustainability issues for different techniques and media

2. Develop ideas for wood objects

2.1 Discuss, with key people, creative and other goals for own wood objects

2.2 Research, adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners and comply with intellectual property requirements

2.3 Use knowledge of different woodworking techniques to inform ideas

2.4 Consider how different techniques and ideas can best work together

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 woodworking resources

3.1 Identify specific resource requirements for the chosen work

3.2 Research potential sources of supply for woodworking resources

3.3 Evaluate cost and other constraints that impact on development of the work

3.4 Evaluate and respond to presentation considerations for finished wood objects

3.5 Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements

4. Create finished wood objects

4.1 Create wood objects using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation, considering and applying elements and principles of design

4.2 Review and refine ideas and approaches based on ongoing experience with production of own work

4.3 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely; minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout all processes

4.4 Document development of own work and the research and ideas that informed it

5. Evaluate own wood objects

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

Criteria 

Description 

Learning

5.2

• Identifies own skill gaps and future learning options

Reading

2.2, 3.2

• Interprets and evaluates complex and unfamiliar information to support design ideas and to identify key information about resources

Writing

4.4

• Uses clear, specific and industry related terminology to document a comprehensive record of research, conceptual idea development and production

Oral Communication

2.1, 5.3

• Clearly represents ideas for designs and techniques using relevant industry and conceptual language
• Uses questioning and active listening techniques to elicit different perspectives about creative ideas and feedback and to confirm understanding

Numeracy

2.5, 3.1-3.3

• Uses basic calculations to measure and record dimensions of display areas and appropriate size of wood objects to suit
• Uses basic calculations to determine and record quantities of equipment, tools and materials
• Interprets budgetary constraints and supplier prices and calculates sometimes complex order costs

Navigate the world of work

1.4, 2.2, 3.5, 4.3

• Takes responsibility for compliance with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work

Interact with others

2.1, 5.3

• Discusses design concepts and collaborates with other artists to generate new ideas and solutions to achieve best outcomes for own creative work
• Engages in an open conversation to elicit and consider the merit of feedback from peers and others to enhance future performance

Get the work done

1.1-1.3, 2.2-2.6, 3.1, 3.5, 4.1, 4.2

• Takes responsibility for completing own creative works from design inception to realisation, efficiently and logically sequencing the stages of preparation and production
• Manages own decisions about appropriate design ideas and techniques by experimentation with a range of explored options
• Resolves problems with technique through experimentation and analysis
• Reviews work in progress resolving problems through refinement of approach
• Creates opportunities to use a more innovative approach and personal style.
