Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
Not Applicable
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and apply techniques for application to any type of illustrative work. Within this unit, illustrative work would generally be quite simple in nature. The focus of the unit is on a general, introductory knowledge of illustrative work and its practical application. This is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific design form. This work requires some guidance.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Prerequisites
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with:
CUVDES05B Interpret and respond to a brief
Core Design
At least one of the drawing units relating to the representation of the concept.
There is also a strong link between this unit and the following unit:
CUVCRS04B Produce technical drawings.
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of illustrative work which demonstrates the application of selected techniques and which is consistent with the requirements of the brief. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the production of illustrative work to meet the requirements of a brief. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of illustrative work produced by the candidate questioning and discussion review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to safely produce illustrative work. |
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills: literacy skills sufficient to interpret a brief and to communicate ideas for illustrative work numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, costs, layout issues. |
Required knowledge: techniques, materials, tools and equipment and their application to illustrative work types of briefs for illustrative work formal elements and principles of design in relation to illustrative work general knowledge about illustrators, their ideas, techniques and work |
history and theory of design in relation to illustrative work copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation and their relevance to illustrative work. |
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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
The brief: | describes and specifies the work to be completed is usually prepared by commissioning body or organisation, e.g. supervisor, client, community organisation may be written, diagrammatic, visual, verbal. |
Illustrative work may be for: | advertisement architectural illustration book cover caricature, cartoon illustration for urban planning poster story board for animation story book, children's book technical, anatomical, botanical illustration. |
Specifications would be articulated in the brief and may refer to: | audience medium purpose style. |
Parameters or constraints may refer to: | cost finished art requirement legal, contractual, ethical and copyright considerations material characteristics quantity technology time frame. |
Information pertinent to the brief may be about: | client's organisational background health and safety considerations legal, contractual, ethical and copyright considerations |
product characteristics and statistics style considerations subject matter. | |
Work space needs may include: | drafting table electronic equipment lighting and power requirements process-specific needs. |
Materials may include: | found surfaces glues inks marker pens pastels, crayons pencils, graphite, charcoal range of papers of different weights and textures vellum water based and oil based paints and mediums wood, board, canvas, fabrics. |

Safety requirements are in accordance with: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulation and standards. |
Preliminary visual representation may involve: | computer-aided exploration sketching. |
Criteria for the selection of the approach may include: | access to materials, tools and equipment required for the production of the illustrative work access to specialist support services consistency with the brief for the illustrative work ease of application personal affinity with medium and materials. |
Techniques may include: | cartooning collage digital imaging drawing for animation lettering, calligraphy line drawing mixed media stencilling tonal drawing water colouring, gouache or oil painting. |
Testingand experimenting may involve: | exploring techniques by making practice pieces, test pieces, mock-ups, roughs or samples testing materials and their application. |
The approach may encompass: | aesthetic considerations choice of medium and materials solutions in terms of illustration the parameters of the brief. |
Refining the approach may involve: | adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of design adjustment to content adjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the technique no change. |
Documenting the approach may involve: | final sketches material samples photographs written rational or description. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
