Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce drawings that represent and communicate ideas. It does not relate to drawing as an art form.
Application of the Unit
People working in many industries apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
Ideas for communication are diverse and may include design concepts for objects, processes or spaces, or movement sequences for performances or screen productions. Drawings may be for personal use or for presentation in exhibitions, tender bid proposals or publications. Drawing may be electronic or hand drawn.
At this level, the individual would take some responsibility for experimentation with a range of drawing techniques and be expected to show some command of those techniques.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.

Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
1. Plan drawing work |
1.1 Explore drawing requirements with reference to relevant reference material and appropriate people when required 1.2 Identify factors that may impact on how drawing work is undertaken 1.3 Gather information about drawing techniques, materials and equipment from a range of sources and determine how they may be used to communicate ideas 1.4 Evaluate information for its application to specific drawing briefs |
|
2. Experiment to represent ideas |
2.1 Assess the capabilities of techniques, materials and equipment through exploration 2.2 Select approaches that best suit the purpose of drawings and their presentation context 2.3 Follow safety procedures for particular techniques, materials and equipment |
|
3. Create drawings |
3.1 Organise materials, tools and equipment for selected techniques 3.2 Produce preliminary drawings and discuss their effectiveness with relevant people 3.3 Finalise drawings, incorporating feedback on work in progress as required 3.4 Prepare drawings for the presentation context |

Method of assessment |
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
|
Guidance information for assessment |
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. |
