D1743 - Produce Digital Images
Aims:
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce digital images through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, equipment and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under limited supervision.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Elements and Performance Criteria:
| Prepare and maintain resources for digital imaging work. |
| Correctly identify and select equipment and materials required for the production of digital images. |
| Prepare and maintain equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements . |
| Organiseand maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe. |
| Store equipment, information and materials in accordance with relevant workplace and safety requirements. |
| Explore digital techniques to plan work. |
| Assess the capabilities of techniques , equipment and materials for digital imaging work. |
| Use and/or combine different techniques, equipment and materials to determine and extend capabilities . |
| Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed digital imaging work based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information. |
| Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision. |
| Select techniques based on the conceptual vision. |
| Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements. |
| Realise digital images. |
| Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed digital images based on the plan of work. |
| Safely use and adapt techniques, equipment and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision. |
| Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process |
Range of Variables:

cost control
recycling
reporting
safety
use of materials.
Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.
ergonomic considerations
light
power supply.
Assessing the
experimenting directly with work in progress
producing practice prints or samples
testing imaging features of the software in use.
exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques.
The elements and principles of design
the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context
the subject matter or theme for the digital images, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.
Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of
acquiring an image through scanning, digital photography or from the Internet
file format considerations
manipulating the image by means of a range of imaging applications
outputting image as a print, CD-ROM or other storage medium.
access to materials and equipment
consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed digital images
ease of application of the techniques
personal affinity with the technique
Evidence guide:
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
production of digital images which demonstrate a command of selected techniques and which are consistent with the conceptual vision
knowledge of equipment and materials and how they are used and extended in the production of digital images.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate
practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple examples of digital imaging work or a single major work.
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
direct observation of digital imaging work in progress
questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work
verbal and written reports
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce digital images.
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the following units:
CUVCOR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own work
CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept
CUVCOR12B Review history and theory for application to artistic practice.
Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:
CUVCRS08B Document the work progress
CUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work
