Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to analyse and apply colour theory to the design process for textile products.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Analyse effects of colour used in textiles
  • 1.1 Effects of colour dimensions are examined.
  • 1.2 Relationship of colour theory to textile design process is identified.
  • 1.3 Visual or optical effects of colour are analysed.
  • 1.4 Samples of textile products that demonstrate different visual effects are collected and compared
2 Analyse suitable colour combinations for use in textile design
  • 2.1 Colour combinations are developed using computer software or manual processes
  • 2.2 Colour wheel and colour charts are used to assist colour investigations
  • 2.3 New colour schemes are identified and illustrated
3 Consider use of colour in textile design
  • 3.1 Different colour uses are identified and compared for impact.
  • 3.2 Colour forecasting options are investigated.
  • 3.3 Colour investigations are documented for future reference.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Dimensions of colour may include
value or tone
hue
chroma, intensity and clarity
Visual or optical effects may include
size
density
value
visual mixing
simultaneous contrast
motion
texture
Colour combinations may include
complementary or contrasting
analogous or harmonious
triad
monochromatic
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
identify uses of colour in textile designs
using a given piece of fabric, colour match all components to complement, such as zip, buttons, threads, linings and other appropriate trims
document colour investigations
apply OHS practices in work operations
maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail and without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
