Realise a body of creative work

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to integrate conceptual, technical and organisational skills to create a coherent body of work in any creative form.

It applies to individuals who are at the beginning of their professional practice and whose completed work conveys a well developed command of materials, process and technique, and strong conceptual and theoretical development.

No licensing, legislative or certification conditions apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence of the ability to:

discuss and evaluate ideas and options for work in response to research and analysis

select and refine ideas for application to own work in consultation with relevant people

safely and sustainably create a coherent body of creative work that is technically and conceptually resolved and consistent with the project concept

finish body of work to a professional standard

develop detailed documentation of work from initial idea to realisation

evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of completed creative project process.

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 commonly used research methodologies for creative practitioners

outline influences on chosen area of work in historical and contemporary contexts

explain how critical and creative thinking techniques can be used in the context of creative practice

explain the relationships between technique, materials and process in the relevant creative form

explain basic project management techniques, particularly in relation to work planning, time management and resource management

discuss essential considerations when determining scope and objectives of a piece of creative work

discuss factors to be considered when determining a realistic timeframe for a piece of creative work

identify typical problems that occur during the production of a body of creative work, and how to avoid or resolve them

summarise options for documenting and recording work, including the type and amount of information to include

discuss intellectual property considerations associated with professional creative practice

outline sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in the chosen creative form

explain organisational and legislative work health and safety procedures in relation to chosen creative form.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

appropriate resources for producing the creative work, including work space, tools, equipment and materials

studio and workshop facilities.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
