Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Research information on colour theory and design processes	1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on colour theory and design processes 1.2 Research historical and contemporary approaches to colour and design in the context of a work project 1.3 Evaluate information to determine how colour theory and design may be integrated into the design process 1.4 Consider intellectual property and other legislative requirements relevant to design processes
2. Communicate ideas through the application of colour and design theory	2.1 Experiment with selected materials, tools and equipment to determine new ways in which colour theory and design processes may be integrated 2.2 Explore and develop new ideas through a process of experimentation 2.3 Achieve solutions by working with the elements and principles of design and different aspects of colour
3. Evaluate design work	3.1 Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating concepts 3.2 Identify areas for future improvement, especially in terms of own skill development 3.3 Discuss completed work with others and respond positively to feedback

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Skill	Performance Criteria	Description
Learning	3.2	Identifies own skills gaps
Reading	1.1, 1.2, 1.3	Sources, analyses and interprets a range of visual and textual information to inform design ideas and project solutions
Oral Communication	3.3	Selects and uses appropriate strategies to initiate discussion of work and elicit feedback
Navigate the world of work	1.4	Considers the implications of intellectual property and other legislation requirements when undertaking research and planning design work
Interact with others	3.3	Seeks feedback from others and considers its value in the improvement of future performance
Get the work done	1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1-2.3, 3.1	Plans and implements research-related tasks Selects and organises suitable resources to produce design solutions Tests the capabilities of materials tools and equipment with creative experimentation to discover new ways of integrating theory and processes Develops new ideas using investigative processes and refines them using design principles and elements Evaluates outcomes of design decisions
