This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use drawing and other visual representation tools to develop, refine and communicate ideas for creative work. It involves evaluating the role of drawing in communicating ideas, experimenting with drawing and visual representations and developing an individual approach to the use of drawing. The unit focus is on manual drawing development and refinement, and visual representation as cognitive tools in a professional practice, rather than a particular level of drawing technique.

Unit elements:

1. Evaluate the role of drawing in professional practice
2. Support and develop practice through experimentation with drawing and visual representation
3. Assess individual approach to the use of drawing
