Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

5.4 Identify ways to further develop technique as part of professional practice and build ideas into future work

Evidence of the ability to:

research an extensive range of sculptural techniques to inform own work practice

refine sculptural technique through a process of thorough experimentation and practice to create a coherent body of sculptural work which:

shows a command of chosen techniques

demonstrates the development of own individual style

complies legislative responsibilities

review and evaluate work against objectives.

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 sculptural works

identify information sources that support research in sculptural practice

summarise, for historical and contemporary sculpture, the main cultural, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, political and commercial influences

explain, for own work practice and that of other artists, the relationship between sculptural technique and particular effects and design ideas

explain, for an extensive range of sculptural techniques, how they work to achieve effects and their limitations and constraints in achieving effects

describe a range of creative thinking techniques and how they can be used to encourage new ideas

describe how the elements and principles of design may be applied and challenged when creating sculpture

explain key safety requirements for sculpture work.
