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. Research textile materials and processes | 1.1 Research ways that other artists have used different textile materials and processes to achieve different effects and identify intellectual property requirements 1.2 Research physical properties and capabilities of a range of textile materials 1.3 Investigate how different materials and textile techniques best combine to achieve different technical effects 1.4 Investigate safety issues associated with different materials and processes 1.5 Collate and store safety and technical data to meet safety requirements for textile work 1.6 Determine cost and supply issues for different materials |
2. Select textile materials and processes for exploration | 2.1 Seek and participate in professional discussions about characteristics and opportunities of particular textile materials and processes 2.2 Evaluate creative and professional opportunities offered by different textile materials and processes for own approach to work 2.3 Identify and assess limitations and constraints of particular materials and processes 2.4 Select a particular range of materials and processes that suit own practice |
3. Integrate textile materials and processes into own work | 3.1 Explore own new and different ways of working with materials and processes to achieve new effects and desired outcomes 3.2 Challenge and stretch the capabilities and uses of different materials and processes through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress 3.3 Proactively identify and resolve technical problems with material use 3.4 Develop own ways of working with materials and processes to create individual style 3.5 Develop a coherent body of textile work that shows command of selected textile materials 3.6 Use safe work practices for handling materials and disposal of waste |
4. Manage textile materials | 4.1 Establish supply of textile materials which meets price, quality and delivery expectations 4.2 Develop ways of working with materials that minimise waste 4.3 Maintain quality and maximise shelf-life of textile materials through appropriate handling and storage |
Evidence of the ability to:
research the properties, capabilities and use of an extensive range of textile materials to inform own work practice
create a coherent body of textile work which demonstrates:
new or refined ways of working with materials through a process of experimentation
technical proficiency in the use of selected materials and processes
integration of materials and processes into own style
use of safe and sustainable work practices.
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:
describe intellectual property considerations relevant to producing textile works
identify useful information sources about textile materials
describe the physical properties, characteristics, capabilities and storage requirements of a wide range of materials used for textile work
describe how different materials and textile techniques combine to achieve different technical effects
explain ways to use, adapt, combine and challenge the capabilities of an extensive range of textile materials to develop an individual professional style
list suppliers for an extensive range of textile materials used in professional practice
explain the function of Safety Data Sheets
explain key safety requirements for textile work.
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:
equipment, tools and materials used to produce textile work
relevant information sources.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
