List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to construct costume components | 1.1 Identify costume components, their functionality and relationship to the entire costume requirements, in consultation with relevant personnel 1.2 Confirm costume specifications and production schedule 1.3 Select construction techniques appropriate to costumes, fabrics and functionality 1.4 Plan sequence of operations for constructing components 1.5 Select and prepare machinery and equipment |
2. Produce a range of costume components | 2.1 Follow planned sequence of construction operations and seek assistance from others as required 2.2 Follow work health and safety (WHS) procedures and manufacturer's specifications when using sewing and cutting machinery 2.3 Handle different combinations of fabrics and notions during the construction process 2.4 Use a range of costume construction techniques to produce sample components that meet quality and functional requirements 2.5 Seek feedback on samples from relevant personnel and agree on modifications or improvements 2.6 Finish costume components within agreed timeframes |
3. Document costume construction techniques | 3.1 Compile work samples showing development of techniques and components 3.2 Document techniques and methods for future reference 3.3 Produce a reference portfolio which includes completed components and notes on the sequence of operations 3.4 Reflect on process of constructing components and note areas for future improvement |
Evidence of the ability to:
determine the most efficient way to construct costume components to meet functional and production requirements
develop and follow a sequence of operations for constructing a variety of costume components
use a sewing machine competently and safely
sew and finish costume components that meet functional requirements and costume production deadlines
document the process of constructing costume components.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify sources of supply for materials typically required for construction of costume components
outline roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in costume design and construction
explain properties and characteristics of a range of fabrics typically used to construct costume components
identify typical problems that arise in the context of constructing costume components and briefly describe solutions
outline typical costume components
explain functionality in relation to costumes for performance
describe safety procedures that apply to using equipment and machinery to make costume components.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
notions, fabric and equipment used to produce costume components
productions for which costume components need to be constructed
costume specifications.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
