Evolve ideas for professional creative work

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop the conceptual aspects of any creative practice, including through the processes of evaluation, critical thinking and research.

It applies to individuals who work in any creative form. At this level, practitioners engage with ideas as a fundamental part of the day-to-day process of creating work. Ideas and thinking are integral to the practical exploration of materials, processes and techniques, but hold a special place in the creative process.

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.

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Evaluate own practice	1.1 Analyse the history and development of own practice from a technical and conceptual perspective 1.2 Identify and analyse the external influences that have shaped ideas and directions in current work 1.3 Evaluate own relationship with work and how this has evolved over time 1.4 Analyse how personal experiences and factors have affected work and the ideas that inform it 1.5 Involve others in the evaluation of own practice to broaden own perspectives
2. Develop ideas and thinking	2.1 Use practical work, experimentation and critical thinking as part of the creative process 2.2 Integrate new processes and ideas into the evolving work in ways that effectively communicate key messages and refine the work 2.3 Deepen or broaden contextual research to support the generation and maturation of ideas 2.4 Collaborate with other professional practitioners about ideas and research 2.5 Produce experimental pieces, unfinished and finished works that reflect evolving ideas, resolving conceptual and technical issues that may arise within the work
3. Integrate ideas and professional opportunities	3.1 Evaluate own professional goals and aspirations and how they might be affected by new and evolving ideas 3.2 Develop new work projects and opportunities based on reflection, research and experimentation

Evidence of the ability to:

develop ideas in professional work through a demonstrated process of evaluation, research and practice

produce experimental and finished work that demonstrates the evolution of ideas through research, collaboration, experimentation and practice

resolve conceptual and technical issues as work progresses

evaluate own work in terms of its coherence and place in a professional practice, and discuss with others at a professional level.

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:

list and describe external and personal influences on creative works

explain what contextual research is and how it informs the creative process

explain the role of critical thinking in the creative process.

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 the production of 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.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
