Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and integrate colour theory and design processes using 2-dimensional (2D) and/or 3-dimensional (3D) space. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units. People working in many industries require the skills and knowledge in this unit, and the unit is written to allow for contextualisation to a particular industry context. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. |

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
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
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Examine information on colour theory and design processes . |
1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on colour theory and design processes. 1.2 Examine information with consideration of how colour and design issues may be integrated in the design process. |
2 Apply and combine colour theory and design processes to produce samples . |
2.1 Select materials , tools and equipment required for the production of samples which integrate colour theory and design processes according to the needs of the brief . 2.2 Follow appropriate and safe procedures to apply instances of design process and colour theory. 2.3 Select, combine and explore the ways in which colour theory and design processes may be integrated. 2.4 Consider outcomes in relation to processes used and suitability for the brief. |
2.5 Explore different approaches to satisfy the requirements of the brief. 2.6 Produce a range of samples which demonstrate how colour theory and design processes can be integrated in two and/or three dimensional space. 2.7 Present and store work in a format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and potential need for the samples in future work. |

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit |
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
The assessment context must provide for:
|
Method of assessment |
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
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). |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to produce samples using integrated colour theory and design processes in two and/or 3D space. |
