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. Prepare ceramic resources	1.1 Calculate and obtain type and quantity of ceramics equipment, tools and materials according to own selected ideas for the work 1.2 Prepare equipment, tools and materials according to procedures for workplace safety, cost control and waste minimisation 1.3 Set up a safe work space with guidance from key people
2. Use and test ceramic techniques	2.1 View a range of ceramic work in different styles, and discuss with key people how effects are achieved 2.2 Match potential techniques to ideas for own ceramic work with assistance from key people 2.3 Test a range of techniques to determine the effects they achieve through experimentation with samples, practice pieces or work in progress 2.4 Use selected techniques to produce fundamental ceramic work considering and applying elements and principles of design 2.5 Clean and store equipment, tools, and materials according to specific needs of different items 2.6 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely and minimise waste throughout all processes
3. Review work to develop skills	3.1 Review own ceramic work and note areas for future improvement 3.2 Seek and consider feedback from key people to identify areas for improvement 3.3 Review different opportunities to build own skills and select suitable options
