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.
Tools and equipment may include: | brushes crayons electronic equipment and accessories pencils pens rags scrapers spatulas sponges sticks. |
Materials may include: | chalks charcoal crayons ink and wash papers pastels watercolour. |

Process used to test techniques may include: | experimenting directly with work in progress exploring techniques by making practice pieces making samples using nominated techniques. |
Techniques would generally be quite limited in nature and may include: | digital drawing techniques basic use of: linear marks of differing intensity and character linear marks to produce illusion of three-dimensional (3-D) form simple linear perspective through the use of a vanishing point tonal range to produce illusion of a 3-D form. |
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.
