Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with a broad range of drawing techniques to refine and evaluate an individual professional style. This unit relates to drawing as an art form and differs from units that focus on drawing as a visual representation tool.
It applies to highly skilled visual artists who integrate the use of those different techniques explored, to realise a coherent body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

1.1 Support professional practice by expanding knowledge of historical and contemporary drawings 1.2 Research ways that other artists have used different drawing techniques 1.3 Investigate how particular drawing techniques work to achieve different technical effects 1.4 Evaluate the relationships between drawing techniques and ideas 1.5 Adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches and comply with intellectual property requirements |
2. Select drawing techniques for refinement |
2.1 Evaluate creative and professional opportunities offered by different drawing techniques for own approach to work 2.2 Identify and assess limitations and constraints of particular techniques 2.3 Select a broad range of drawing techniques for refinement |
3. Consolidate drawing technique to professional level |
3.1 Develop increasing confidence and skill through practice and experimentation 3.2 Proactively identify and resolve technical problems in drawings based on developing expertise 3.3 Challenge and test ideas and use creative thinking techniques to encourage new and unpredictable ideas to emerge 3.4 Evolve ideas and other professional skills through ongoing experimentation with technique 3.5 Develop own ways of working with techniques to create individual style 3.6 Create a coherent body of drawing work that shows command of selected drawing techniques 3.7 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely; minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout all processes |
4. Evaluate own drawing technique |
4.1 Evaluate development of own technique with others and seek feedback 4.2 Seek and participate in professional discussions that challenge and explore different concepts and approaches 4.3 Evaluate particular ways that experimentation with different techniques has informed own artwork 4.4 Identify ways to further develop technique as part of professional practice and build ideas into future work |
