Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication skills to engage in informed discussion around digital technologies and their relationship with ideas

critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate and make judgements about relationships between technologies techniques and processes

initiative and enterprise skills to

develop individual ways of working with technologies and processes

identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different materials and processes

learning skills to develop and refine own skills to a professional practice standard

literacy skills to analyse varied and technical information about digital technologies and processes

problemsolving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in digital artwork

selfmanagement and planning skills to develop own ways of working with digital technologies and processes

technology skills to work with the advanced features of a wide range of technologies used for digital work

Required knowledge

ways in which a wide range of digital technologies and processes can be used adapted combined and challenged by the professional artist

ways of integrating different technologies

types of technical and other data that may need to be stored for safety and other reasons

cost and supply parameters for different technologies and types of equipment to support professional practice

storage requirements and option for different materials used in digital work

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with digital work

sustainability issues associated with the technologies used in digital work

OHS requirements for the setup and operation of a professional work space

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

apply knowledge of digital technologies and how they may be used and adapted at a professional level

evolve and refine ways of working with technologies through a demonstrated process of experimentation

integrate technologies into own work in a way that supports coherence of the creative work

demonstrate technical proficiency in the use of selected digital technologies

use safe and sustainable work practices

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

equipment materials and tools used to produce digital work

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

evaluation of the use of technologies in terms of the coherence of the body of work

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to develop new ways of working with technologies

evaluation of the work documentation

questioning and discussion about candidates intentions and the work outcome

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 for example

CUVPRPA Realise a body of creative work

CUVPRP501A Realise a body of creative work.

Range Statement
