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 | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Draw outline shapes. | 1.1.Analyse the structural components of the desired haircut. 1.2.Produce a simple line drawing showing straight and curved design lines and direction of lines for the finished haircut. |
2. Create haircut plans. | 2.1.Identify and illustrate starting point, sectioning and parting pattern for each component of the haircut structure. 2.2.Record degree of angle of lift and distribution of hair for the haircut structure. 2.3.Illustrate a structural graphic for the planned haircut by drawing lines at 90 degrees to the curve of the head. 2.4.Develop a finished haircut plan in structural graphic form that shows soft and hard interior and exterior lines, starting point of haircut, sectioning and parting patterns, angles of lift, distribution of hair. |
