Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with various techniques and media for the realisation of prints. It outlines the way prints are produced through the use of experimentation and ongoing refinement. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with:
- CUVCOR04B Originate concept for own work and conduct critical discourse
- CUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent and communicate the concept
- CUVCOR13B Research and critically analyse history and theory to inform artistic practice.
Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:
- CUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work
- CUVCRS08B Document the work progress.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
- direct observation of work in progress, including exploration of and experimentation with techniques
- questioning and discussion about your intentions and the work outcome
- verbal and written reports
- review of portfolios of evidence
- A highly developed command of the selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision
- In depth knowledge of techniques, materials and tools and the ways they may be adapted and extended in printmaking.
