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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Plan for artwork research | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to researching and recommending artwork are verified and complied with |
| | 1.2 | Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client |
| | 1.3 | Parameters for the project are assessed and confirmed |
| | 1.4 | Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness |
| | 1.5 | Communication with others is established and maintained |
2 | Research artwork | 2.1 | Aesthetic requirements of the artwork are assessed and compared with surrounding furniture and colours |
| | 2.2 | Intended application for the artwork is analysed and reviewed in accordance with the available space |
| | 2.3 | Artwork and artists are sourced, researched and reported |
| | 2.4 | Framing types and styles are researched and reported |
| | 2.5 | Properties of the materials used in the production of artwork are analysed and evaluated |
| | 2.6 | Manufacturing processes, art styles and available expertise for the desired artwork are assessed |
| | 2.7 | Costs and availability of artwork are assessed and compared |
| | 2.8 | Environmental impact of artwork materials used are assessed |
| | 2.9 | Longevity and restorability quality of artwork is researched |
| | 2.10 | Project is measured for artwork requirements, calculating quantities and requirements |
3 | Recommend artwork | 3.1 | Selected or commissioned artwork quantities and qualities are presented and promoted to the client |
| | 3.2 | Performance and characteristics of selected artwork are presented and promoted to the client |
| | 3.3 | Costs associated with purchasing and obtaining the artwork are provided in quote form to the client |
| | 3.4 | Presentation of research information is made highlighting the findings and rationale for the artwork chosen |
| | 3.5 | Artwork is selected and positioned according to client requirements, project brief and nature of the space |
| | 3.6 | Feedback and follow up is instigated and maintained with the client |
Interpret work orders and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Research and recommend artwork to assist with informing the design and decoration process and arrive at a solution which meets client requirements effectively applying design elements and principles
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area/volume and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, presentation of design/colour concepts, the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Initiate new ideas and work techniques
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for researching and recommending artwork
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for researching and recommending artwork
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Creativity and artistic relevance
Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
Types of equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Relevant research computer programs
Artwork types and styles
Design themes and design development
Colours, furnishings and decorations
Sketching and drawing techniques
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
Environmental protection requirements
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to materials, equipment and specifications relevant to researching and recommending artwork.
