CUACAL411 — Experiment with techniques to produce calligraphy

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• create at least two pieces of calligraphic work.
• use a thorough research and experimentation process to confirm ideas for own work
• identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
• adapt and use a range of calligraphy techniques that demonstrates innovation and the emergence of an individual style
• review and document the research and development process.

Knowledge evidence

• intellectual property requirements relevant to producing calligraphic works
• research methods to find creative and technical approaches to calligraphic work
• works of other practitioners to help inform individual practice
• experimentation and how it relates to the development of individual style
• approaches to assess professional potential of proposed calligraphic work
• capabilities of a wide range of calligraphic techniques and ways to adapt, extend and combine techniques
• elements and principles of design, detailed characteristics and key interrelationships used in calligraphic work and how they might be challenged
• materials used to produce calligraphic work, including: physical properties and capabilities; characteristics of materials under different treatments and how they work to achieve different effects
• sources of resources for professional calligraphic practice with emphasis on raw, part-processed and processed calligraphic materials
• practices and procedures for working safely and sustainably with materials, tools and equipment for producing calligraphic works.

Foundation skills

• Learning: Identifies own skills gaps and initiates learning plan to progress professional career as required
• Numeracy: Uses basic calculations to determine display dimensions, size of art pieces and quantities of equipment, tools and materials Interprets budgetary constraints and supplier prices, and calculates complex order costs
• Oral Communication: Presents ideas for designs and techniques clearly using relevant industry and conceptual language Clarifies information and feedback using questioning and active listening techniques
• Reading: Interprets and evaluates complex and unfamiliar information to support design ideas and identify key information
• Writing: Uses clear, specific and industry relevant terminology to comprehensively document research, conceptual idea development and production
• Teamwork: Collaborates with other artists to generate new ideas and solutions to achieve best outcomes for own creative work Engages in open conversation to elicit feedback from peers and others to enhance future performance
• Initiative and enterprise: Takes responsibility for completing own creative works from design inception to realisation, efficiently and logically sequencing the stages of preparation and production Manages own decisions about appropriate design ideas and techniques by experimentation with a range of explored options Creates opportunities to use a more innovative approach and personal style
• Problem solving: Resolves problems with technique through experimentation and analysis Reviews work in progress, resolving problems through refinement of approach
• Self-management: Complies with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work
