Apply drawing and rendering techniques to jewellery or object design

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to jewellery and object designers who are using drawings to develop and explore concepts as part of developing a jewellery or object design. The unit applies to both early and late stages of the design process and covers the role of drawing as a research, idea generation, interpretation and problem-solving tool. It also includes the use of drawing and drawing techniques as a means of representing and communicating the essential features of a design before finalisation and production.

The unit does not cover the production technical drawings intended to guide the manufacture of jewellery or objects by either the designer or others. Where this skill is required see MEM19031A Produce renderings and technical drawings for jewellery and object design construction. The unit also does not cover life drawing and the production of 3D computer-aided design (CAD) based models.

Band A

Unit Weight 4

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use various drawing techniques in the jewellery or object design creative process. The unit covers conventions, language and forms of drawings and the role of drawings in communicating the tactile, visual and spatial features of a design.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Not applicable.

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.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply a range of drawing techniques to illustrate perspectives and features of jewellery or object designs.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

demonstrate analytical, observational and imaginative drawing techniques to demonstrate features of jewellery or object designs

produce drawings of jewellery or object designs from single, two and three point perspectives

use drawing tools, materials and techniques to communicate the design features.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

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 knowledge includes:

types and characteristics of media, materials and drawing surfaces

drawing equipment and applications, storage and maintenance

role of shape, plane and volume in drawing and rendering

elements and principles of design

mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

2D and 3D drawing techniques

occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements

Required skills include:

exploring, selecting and manipulating a range of media, materials and drawings

exploring marks and mark making

drawing from observation

using perspective in drawing

applying a range of drawing techniques, such as line drawing, contour drawing and gesture drawing

drawing to create spatial illusion

using shape, plane and volume in drawing and rendering

creating texture in drawing (real and implied)

applying black and white and coloured rendering techniques

applying composition techniques

applying rendering applications and techniques and tools for the creation of illustration effects

expressing self through intuitive and expressive drawing

Design features

Design features may include:

materials

dimensions

context

purpose

Media, materials and drawing surfaces

Media, materials and drawing surfaces may include:

pencils

ink (brush, pen and wash)

charcoal (natural and compressed)

conte

crayon

gouache

coloured pencils

felt tip markers

paper (a range of weights, textures and colours)

collage

paints

Rendering

Rendering is to include, but not be limited to:

the pictorial representation of aspects and perspectives using colours, highlighting and shading to provide depth and photo-like drawings

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.
