Evidence Required
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. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: ability to apply a range of finishing methods to items to meet production requirements knowledge of the scope of art finishing methods and their application in a performance context safe use of tools and materials. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the application of multiple art finishing methods to a range of production items. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of the candidate using various art finishing techniques evaluation of items on which the candidate has completed art finishing, e.g. appropriateness of method, quality of finish oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of art finishing techniques and materials portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands 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). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: items required for relevant art finishing methods as specified in the Range Statement raw materials/finished items for the application of art finishing. |
Range Statement
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. | |
Art finishing may be applied to: | costume accessories costumes furniture millinery props sets |
Production requirements to be considered in the planning and application of art finishing may include: | budget constraints how the item is to be used level of ongoing maintenance required number of times the item is to be used potential for production charges that may impact safety issues storage and transport constraints time constraints the person for whom the item is intended |
