Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to realise a coherent body of creative work. Practitioners integrate conceptual, technical and organisational skills to create work in their chosen creative form.
Application of the Unit
Creative practitioners at the beginning of their professional practice apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They have a well-developed command of materials, process and technique. Completed work conveys strong conceptual and theoretical development.
This unit reflects the integrated creative process that is so important to artistic practice. It may be applied to any creative form and, in practice, is combined with other discipline-specific units that address specialised technical skills.
At this level, work is undertaken independently with mentoring and guidance as required.
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.
