CUAWOO401 — Experiment with techniques to produce wood objects

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• use a process of thorough research and experimentation to confirm ideas for own work
• identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
• adapt and use a range of woodworking techniques to create a single major work or multiple wood objects that: - shows technical proficiency in chosen techniques - reflects understanding of elements and principles of design - demonstrates innovation and the emergence of an individual style
• review and document the research and development process.
• Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

• describe intellectual property requirements relevant to producing wood objects
• summarise methods used to research creative and technical approaches to woodworking
• explain how the works of other practitioners may be used to inform individual practice
• describe the role of experimentation in developing and refining ideas for wood objects and how it relates to the development of an individual style
• explain ways to adapt, extend and combine the capabilities of a wide range of woodworking techniques
• describe, for the elements and principles of design, the detailed characteristics, key interrelationships, use in wood objects and how they may be challenged
• summarise, for a range of tools and equipment used to produce wood objects, key physical features and uses, cleaning and maintenance techniques and storage requirements
• describe the physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials and techniques used to produce wood objects
• list suppliers of resources for professional woodworking practice with particular emphasis on raw, part-processed and processed woodworking materials
• describe practices and procedures for working safely and sustainably with materials, tools and equipment for producing wood objects.

Foundation skills

• Learning: Identifies own skill gaps and future learning options
• Reading: Interprets and evaluates complex and unfamiliar information to support design ideas and to identify key information about resources
• Writing: Uses clear, specific and industry related terminology to document a comprehensive record of research, conceptual idea development and production
• Oral Communication: Clearly represents ideas for designs and techniques using relevant industry and conceptual language Uses questioning and active listening techniques to elicit different perspectives about creative ideas and feedback and to confirm understanding
• Numeracy: Uses basic calculations to measure and record dimensions of display areas and appropriate size of wood objects to suit Uses basic calculations to determine and record quantities of equipment, tools and materials Interprets budgetary constraints and supplier prices and calculates sometimes complex order costs
• Navigate the world of work: Takes responsibility for compliance with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work
• Interact with others: Discusses design concepts and collaborates with other artists to generate new ideas and solutions to achieve best outcomes for own creative work Engages in an open conversation to elicit and consider the merit of feedback from peers and others to enhance future performance
• Get the work done: 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 Resolves problems with technique through experimentation and analysis Reviews work in progress resolving problems through refinement of approach Creates opportunities to use a more innovative approach and personal style.
