PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Develop ideas for thrown work

1.1 Discuss creative goals for own thrown ceramic work with key people

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

1.3 Use knowledge of different throwing techniques to inform ideas

1.4 Consider how different throwing techniques and ideas can best work together

1.5 Assess the professional potential and presentation requirements for own thrown ceramic work to inform ideas

1.6 Refine and confirm ideas based on experimentation, research and collaboration with others

2. Extend throwing skills

2.1 Evaluate potential for new approaches to throwing based on known capabilities of techniques already used

2.2 Adapt or introduce new equipment, tools and materials to achieve different effects

2.3 Extend own capability with throwing techniques through dedicated practice at the wheel and experimentation on samples, practice pieces or work in progress

2.4 Assess safety and sustainability issues for thrown work

3. Create finished thrown ceramic work

3.1 Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements

3.2 Create thrown ceramic work using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation, considering and applying elements and principles of design

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

3.4 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely; minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout production of thrown ceramic work

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

4. Evaluate own thrown ceramic work

4.1 Reflect on own conceptual development and technical execution of the work

4.2 Identify areas for future skill improvement and options to learn
