Release 1

This version first released with CUA Creative Arts and Culture Training Package version 2.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • produce a series of digital images where the techniques and materials support the idea for the work
  • discuss the process for producing video art with others
  • review own progress to identify ways to further develop skills.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • describe the function and capabilities of materials, tools and equipment commonly used for digital imaging
  • outline the major styles of digital imaging and the work of key practitioners
  • describe a range of digital imaging techniques
  • describe safe cleaning techniques for tools and equipment used in producing digital images
  • outline procedures for working safely with digital 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:

  • tools, equipment, materials for producing digital images
  • information sources.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
