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
communication skills to seek feedback from others on observational drawings
critical thinking and analytical skills to:
evaluate the relevance of other historical and contemporary drawing to own practice
investigate and select media and tools to achieve the desired outcome of work
initiative and enterprise skills to identify opportunities for observational drawing in own professional practice
learning skills to identify need for further development of observational drawing skills
literacy skills to read and interpret varied information on drawing
self-management and planning skills to plan and complete a body of observational drawing work
problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues and challenges with own observational drawing technique
technical skills to master the technical aspects of observational drawing.
Required knowledge
role of observational drawing in different types of professional practice
specific techniques used in observational drawing
tools, media and techniques to achieve particular effects in observational drawings
historical and contemporary approaches to observational drawing, either in the context of own practice or more broadly
intellectual property issues and legislation associated with drawing as part of a professional practice
sustainability issues associated with drawing tools and materials
organisational and legislative OHS procedures in relation to drawing.
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.
Specific techniques and considerations include: | accurate perception of shape approaches to line and edges approaches to perspective coordination of hand and eye depiction of light and shade representation of space. |
Ways to achieve perspective may include: | changing eye level one and two point perspective vanishing points. |
Use of lines and edges may include: | angles contours cross-contouring to show three-dimensional shape relationships use of no line. |
Ways to recognise and accurately represent space may include: | composition framing use of positive and negative space. |
Different techniques to observe and depict light and shade may include: | changes in tone across surfaces and planes perception of tone or value use of different light sources. |
Problems in own drawing technique may relate to: | challenge of selecting best media to achieve desired effects excessive time required to achieve the outcome or desired effect technical shortcomings. |
Media and tools may include: | black and white media charcoal coloured media conte gouache ink paint pastel, including oil pastel pencil watercolour. |
Key objectives may relate to: | presentation of ideas presentation of finished work resolution of design challenges resolution of technical issues in object creation. |
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.
