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!

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

Evidence of the ability to:

apply knowledge of drawing materials and processes and how they may be adapted and extended at a professional level

evolve and refine ways of working with materials and processes through a demonstrated process of experimentation

integrate materials and processes into own work in a way that supports coherence of the creative work

demonstrate technical proficiency in the use of selected materials and processes

use safe and sustainable work practices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce drawings.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of the use of materials and processes in terms of the coherence of the body of work

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to develop new ways of working with drawing materials and processes

evaluation of the work documentation

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) 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

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUVPRP501A Realise a body of creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to engage in informed discussion around materials, processes and their relationship with ideas

critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate and make judgements about relationships between drawing materials, techniques and processes

initiative and enterprise skills to:

develop individual ways of working with materials and processes

identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different materials and processes

learning skills to develop and refine own skills to a professional practice standard

literacy skills to analyse varied and technical information about drawing materials and processes

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in drawing work

self-management and planning skills to:

develop own ways of working with drawing materials and processes

research and organise sustainable supply of materials and processes

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool.

Required knowledge

ways in which a wide range of drawing materials and processes can be used, adapted, combined and challenged by the professional artist

physical properties and capabilities of the selected materials and processes

types of technical and other data that may need to be stored for safety and other reasons

characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects

cost and supply parameters for drawing materials and tools in the context of professional practice

storage requirements and options for different materials

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with drawing as a professional practice

sustainability issues for the professional operation of a drawing practice

OHS requirements for the set-up and operation of a professional work space.
