communication skills to confirm and discuss purpose of drawings

learning skills to

improve techniques for producing drawings through practice

respond appropriately to feedback on own work

literacy skills to read product labels and instructions

numeracy skills to deal with basic scaling and layout issues

planning and organising skills to organise resources for simple drawing projects

elements and principles of design

intellectual property issues and legislation in relation to drawing

ways of minimising waste in drawing projects

OHS issues associated with tools and materials used for drawing

Evidence Required

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

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

produce multiple drawings that

demonstrate a basic command of nominated techniques

communicate ideas

are appropriate for the presentation context

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment and materials used to produce drawings

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct observation of work in progress

evaluation of drawings

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of drawing techniques and materials

review of portfolios of evidence

review of thirdparty reports from experienced practitioners

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy and the needs of particular groups eg 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

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended
