Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Not Applicable

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use techniques, materials and equipment for the production of digital images. As such the unit covers general knowledge and the application of basic techniques, which would generally be nominated by the supervisor. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under supervision.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with:

CUVCOR01B Source concept for own work; or

CUVCOR02B Develop and articulate concept for own work

CUVCOR07B Use drawing techniques to represent the object or idea; or

CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept.

It could also be assessed in conjunction with:

CUVCOR11B Source information on history and theory and apply to own area of work.

Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:

CUVCRS13B Store finished work.

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of digital images which demonstrate a command of nominated techniques and which reflect the concept

general knowledge of materials and equipment used in digital imaging work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple digital images.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of digital imaging work in progress

questioning and discussion of candidate's intentions and work

written or verbal reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce digital images using the nominated techniques.

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.

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to read operational instructions

numeracy skills sufficient to deal with such issues as input and output resolution, resizing.

Required knowledge:

general knowledge of equipment used in digital imaging work

general knowledge of different styles of digital imaging work and the work of key practitioners

overview knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design

introductory knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for digital imaging work

typical equipment requirements for the production of digital imaging work

digital equipment use and maintenance

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation 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.

Equipment may include:

computer and imaging applications

digital camera

output device

scanner.

Materials may include:

a range of printing papers.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

recycling

reporting

safety.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

ergonomic considerations

lighting

power supply.

Within this unit the range of techniques used would generally be quite limited in nature and may include:

acquiring an image through scanning, digital photography or from the Internet

manipulating the image by means of imaging software

outputting the image.

Testing nominated techniques may involve:

further practice with the techniques to acquire, manipulate and print images while also manipulating variables such as resolution, colour depth, brightness, contrast

producing samples or test pieces.

The concept for the proposed digital images may be influenced by:

elements and principles of design

the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

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.

Observation Checklist
