Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use techniques, materials and tools for the production of drawings. As such the unit covers general knowledge and the application of basic techniques, which would generally be nominated by the supervisor. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under supervision. It therefore differs from the units which relate to core drawing techniques for concept representation. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. |
