Unit Information

Learning at this level involves obtaining and demonstrating detailed knowledge and skills. Learners are expected to be largely independent and self-supporting in the creation of evidence submitted for assessment. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning processes — successful candidates will show a high level of initiative and self-motivation. Learners should be directed by a clear and objective understanding of their development as creative artist.

Unit Description and Aims

The aim of Creative Practitioners is to provide a flexible, relevant and practically-orientated suite of qualifications for creative artists, which will equip learners with the skills to develop realistic employment opportunities in the creative industries.

Deconstruction

This unit aims to establish a starting point for the development of a creative practitioner. Learners will critically analyse their current creative practice and the marketplace they intend to enter. They will then engage in a range of feedback activities to test their ideas and assumptions about their work, gathering and responding to input from a range of sources.

Market Analysis

Gain an in-depth understanding of current marketing concepts, techniques and strategies. Learners will analyse existing campaigns related to their own creative practice and apply their learnings to the development of their own marketing assets and strategies.

Brand Development

This unit aims to develop the learner’s creative practice, using the evaluation of their creative practice from Deconstruction as the basis to plan and implement a proactive development process, leading towards a large-scale realisation of their own creative work in Presenting the Brand.

Skills Development

This unit is designed to give learners studying for the Extended Diploma the opportunity to develop advanced skills in areas relevant to their creative practice. Throughout the skill development process, learners will be expected to initiate and maintain a self-directed and strategic approach to studying.

Marketing a Brand

This unit is designed to give learners studying for the Extended Diploma the opportunity to develop a marketing strategy and a range of professional promotional assets to support the showcase of their own work in Presenting the Brand.

Presenting the Brand

This unit is designed as a showcase for the learner’s creative output, after a period of reflection and reconstruction in Deconstruction and the development of their creative practice in Developing the Brand. The form this showcase takes will be different for each learner, depending on the nature of their practice.

Evaluating the Brand

This unit is designed to evaluate the full range of development that has been undertaken in the course of the qualification. Learners will evaluate the effectiveness and impact of their creative development, and develop plans for further development towards employment or further study.
