Develop skills in textile work

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use a limited range of basic textile techniques to produce fundamental textile work from simple design concepts.

It typically applies to individuals who have developed some general design, drawing or craft skills and who are now embarking on a career in visual arts. They have little or no experience in textiles and work under close supervision and with guidance from others.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements 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. Prepare textile resources

1.1 Calculate and obtain type and quantity of textile equipment, tools and materials according to own selected ideas for the work

1.2 Prepare equipment, tools and materials according to procedures for workplace safety, cost control and waste minimisation

1.3 Set up a safe work space with guidance from key people

2. Use and test textile techniques

2.1 View a range of textile work in different styles, and discuss with key people how effects are achieved

2.2 Match potential techniques to ideas for own textile work with assistance from key people

2.3 Test a range of techniques to determine the effects they achieve through experimentation with samples, practice pieces or work in progress

2.4 Use selected techniques to produce fundamental textile work considering and applying elements and principles of design

2.5 Clean and store equipment, tools, and materials according to specific needs of different items

2.6 Handle equipment, tools and materials safely and minimise waste throughout all processes

3. Review work to develop skills

3.1 Review own textile work and note areas for future improvement

3.2 Seek and consider feedback from key people to identify areas for improvement

3.3 Review different opportunities to build own skills and select suitable options

Evidence of the ability to:

produce multiple pieces of fundamental textile work where the materials and techniques support own ideas for work

document a basic plan to build own skills, outlining own selected skill development options.

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 the general features of major styles of textile work and the work of key practitioners relevant to individual area of interest

outline, for the elements and principles of design, the fundamental characteristics, primary interrelationships and use in fundamental textile work

outline, for a range of equipment and tools used to produce textile work, key physical features and uses, cleaning techniques and storage requirements

outline the general features and use of a basic range of materials and techniques used to produce fundamental textile work

outline typical work space requirements for producing fundamental textile work including ways of organising space and equipment for efficient work operation

outline procedures for working safely with textile 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 textile work

information sources.

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

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
