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. Plan sculptural work through exploration | 1.1 Explore ideas and techniques for own sculptural work in consultation with key people as required 1.2 Review historical and contemporary sculpture practice as a potential source of ideas 1.3 Clarify and confirm ideas for sculpture based on exploration, discussion and consideration of intellectual property requirements 1.4 Assess capabilities of sculptural techniques through practice and systematic testing and adaption on samples, practice pieces or a work in progress 1.5 Select techniques that best support ideas for own work |
2. Prepare, maintain and store sculptural resources | 2.1 Calculate, select and organise type and quantity of sculpture equipment, tools and materials based on the needs of the chosen work 2.2 Prepare, maintain and dispose of equipment, tools and materials according to workplace safety and sustainability requirements 2.3 Clean and store equipment, tools and materials according to specific needs of different items |
3. Create finished sculptures | 3.1 Use and adapt combined sculptural techniques to create desired effects, considering and applying elements and principles of design 3.2 Review work in progress and make adjustments, as required, to produce final work 3.3 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely and minimise waste throughout all processes 3.4 Add value to current and future work process by documenting the work progress 3.5 Liaise with others to obtain and consider feedback on technical proficiency of work and success in communicating ideas |
Evidence of the ability to:
explore ideas, techniques and historical and contemporary sculptural practice and choose techniques to support own work
identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
adapt and use combined sculptural techniques to create a single major work or multiple pieces of sculpture that show technical proficiency in chosen techniques
review and document the work 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:
outline basic intellectual property considerations when producing sculptures
outline methods of exploring techniques to achieve different effects in sculptures
summarise the main aspects of historical and contemporary sculpture practice and how they can inform own design ideas
describe, for the elements and principles of design, the key characteristics, key interrelationships and use in sculptures
summarise, for a range of tools and equipment used to produce sculpture, key physical features and uses, cleaning and maintenance techniques and storage requirements
describe the physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials and techniques used to produce sculptures
discuss typical work space requirements for producing sculptures including ways of organising space and equipment for efficient work operation
describe procedures for working safely with sculpture materials, tools and equipment.
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:
equipment, tools and materials used to produce sculptures
relevant information sources.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
