Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with a broad range of painting techniques to refine and evaluate an individual professional style. It involves researching different painting ideas and techniques and consolidating a selected technique to a professional level.

It applies to highly skilled visual artists who integrate the use of those different techniques explored, to realise a coherent body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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 painting ideas and techniques	1.1 Support professional practice by expanding knowledge of historical and contemporary painting 1.2 Research ways that other artists have used different painting techniques 1.3 Investigate how particular painting techniques work to achieve different technical effects 1.4 Explore the relationships between painting techniques and ideas
2. Select painting techniques for refinement	2.1 Evaluate painting techniques relevant to approach 2.2 Identify and assess limitations and constraints of particular techniques 2.3 Select a range of painting techniques for refinement
3. Consolidate painting technique to professional level	3.1 Develop increasing confidence and skill through practice and experimentation 3.2 Proactively identify and resolve technical problems in painting 3.3 Challenge and test ideas and use creative thinking techniques 3.4 Develop ideas through experimentation with technique 3.5 Develop own ways of working with techniques and create individual style 3.6 Create painting work that shows command of selected painting techniques
4. Evaluate own painting technique	4.1 Evaluate development of own technique with others and seek feedback 4.2 Participate in discussions to explore different concepts and approaches 4.3 Evaluate particular ways that experimentation with different techniques has informed own artwork 4.4 Identify ways to further develop technique and build ideas into future work

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Reading	Interprets and evaluates information to support design ideas and to identify key information about techniques
Oral Communication	Uses questioning and active listening techniques to elicit feedback and confirm understanding Initiates and participates in discussions, encouraging contributions, eliciting different perspectives, clarifying, summarising and building constructively on the input of others
Navigate the world of work	Takes responsibility for compliance with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work
