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!

CUECOS15B - Construct hard and soft sculptured specialised costumes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine requirements for specialised costumes.

  1. Interpret design sketches and other production documentation and liaise with other production personnel to determine the need for specialised costumes.
  2. Undertake research to establish the broad parameters for costume construction, including availability of materials.
  3. Use research material to appropriately adapt styles for the particular production.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 use appropriate techniques to construct costumes which incorporate materials other than fabric

knowledge of different materials and how to use these in costume construction.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the production of specialised costumes for an actual production.

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 costumes created by the candidate in relation to creative and production quality

oral questioning/interview aimed at evaluating the processes used in developing costume specifications

evaluation of sketches, drawings or specifications developed by the candidate

third party reports and portfolios of evidence.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (eg 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:

costume designs from which the candidate can develop specifications and undertake construction

equipment, tools and materials used for construction of specialised costumes.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit has linkages to a range of other costume units and combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate, eg:

CUECOS02C Apply art finishing

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Typical problems and challenges encountered with specialised costume construction, including issues surrounding the need for costumes to withstand the demands of performance, comfort of the performer and use of costume doubles.

Required knowledge

overview of the scope of the types of specialised costumes that can be constructed

different materials, their properties and uses in specialised costume construction

techniques for working with materials other than fabric in costume construction, including moulding and the integration of different materials and fabrics within the overall construction.

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.

Specialised costumes may include:

abstract costumes

armoury

distorted human

human puppet costumes

industrial textiles

latex

science fiction.

Materials that may need to be incorporated into the costume may include:

clay

composite fabric

foam

industrial textiles

latex

plastics

surgical textiles

vinyl

wire.
