Qualification -
Unit of Competency CUVACD201A - Develop drawing skills to communicate ideas
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop simple drawing techniques for representing and communicating ideas. It does not relate to drawing as an art form. In a work or learning context this unit may relate to visually communicating ideas about objects, as well as the use of space, narratives or the steps in a process.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application People working in many industries apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.At this level, a limited range of techniques would be expected, and work would normally be completed under supervision.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare to use a range of drawing techniques
  • Clarify purpose of drawings with appropriate people
  • Identify suitable techniques to represent ideas
  • Select tools and materials required for selected techniques
  • Take presentation context into account when selecting techniques, tools and materials
       
Element: Produce simple drawings
  • Explore ways of representing ideas through application of different techniques
  • Seek feedback from others on different drawing techniques
  • Select techniques best suited to represent ideas
  • Draw ideas using selected techniques
  • Respond positively to feedback from others on own work and take action to improve own skills as required
       


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.

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 third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

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).

Guidance information for assessment

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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

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.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of tools and materials commonly used for drawing

different approaches to drawing and how other practitioners use drawing to represent ideas

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.

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.

Appropriate people may include:

colleagues

mentors

supervisors

teachers.

Techniques may include:

digital drawing techniques

integration of text and drawing

linear marks of differing intensity and character

linear marks to produce illusion of form in space

linear perspective

scaling techniques

tonal range to produce illusion of form in space

use of positive and negative space.

Ideas may relate to:

crafted objects

design concepts

digital work

installations

movement sequences

narrative

paintings and prints

performance

sculptures

story

technical solutions for a design or work.

Tools may include:

blades

brushes

digital technology

drawing and design applications

measuring tools

printer

rags

scanner

sponges

sticks.

Materials may include:

boards

charcoal

coloured pencils

crayons

graphite pencils

inks

natural ochres

pastels and chalks

pigments

range of papers

solvents

watercolour

wood or bark.

Presentation context may include:

design proposal

proposal for product or work development

proposal in response to a brief

visualisation of an idea.

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.
