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.
Required skills
communication skills to discuss ideas for digital imaging with others
learning skills to:
improve techniques to produce digital images through practice and some experimentation
respond constructively to feedback
literacy skills to interpret information about historical and contemporary digital image practice
numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials
planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce digital images
self-management skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work.
Required knowledge
ways of exploring techniques and materials to achieve different effects in digital imaging
physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials, tools and equipment used in digital imaging
work space requirements for digital imaging, including ways of organising and maintaining space
cleaning, maintenance and storage procedures for digital imaging tools, materials and equipment
historical and theoretical contexts for digital imaging
elements and principles of design and their particular application to digital image work
intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work
sustainability considerations associated with the use of digital tools, materials and equipment
OHS procedures that apply to digital imaging work.
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Ideas may be influenced by: | current capability with techniques historical and theoretical contexts subject matter or theme for the work, such as: built environment land and place natural world political, cultural and social issues the body spiritual concerns. |
Within this unit, the candidate would generally build on and combine a range of techniques which may include: | acquiring images: from the internet through digital photography through scanning manipulating images using a range of imaging applications outputting image as: a print CD other storage medium uploading images to the internet using the most appropriate file format. |
Key peoplemay include: | mentors other artists peers supervisors teachers. |
Strategies used to assess the capabilities of techniques may involve: | experimenting directly with work in progress further practice with techniques to acquire, manipulate and print images while also manipulating variables, such as: brightness colour depth contrast resolution producing practice prints or samples testing imaging features of the software in use. |
Equipment may include: | computer digital camera digital imaging software guillotine output device scanner. |
Materials may include: | a range of printing surfaces: acetate fabrics papers hard copy source material: magazine clippings paintings photos. |
Needs of the work may relate to: | availability of different resources budget creative goals preparation time process-specific requirements recycling safety sustainability. |
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.
