Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Prepare and maintain resources for calligraphic work . |
1.1 Correctly identify and select tools and materials required for the production of calligraphic work. 1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain tools and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements . 1.3 Organise and 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 calligraphic techniques to plan work . |
2.1 Assess the capabilities of techniques , tools, and materials for different types of calligraphic work. 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 calligraphic work 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 the calligraphic work . |
3.1 Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed calligraphic work 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. |
