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:
collaborate with others about nature and opportunities of new work forms
engage in informed discussion around art materials, processes and techniques
critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate new ideas, and new art forms and media for application to own practice
initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different art forms and media
learning skills to:
develop expertise to a professional practice standard
evaluate and act on own development needs
literacy skills to analyse varied and technical information about art materials, processes and techniques
problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems during experimentation and testing
self-management and planning skills to draw together research and experimentation processes for benefit of own work
technology skills to conduct web-based research.
Required knowledge
relationship between materials, processes and techniques in the chosen art form
connections and associations between different art forms and media
work of other artists in the chosen art form
cultural, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, political and commercial influences on the chosen art form, in historical and contemporary contexts
processes of research and concept development used by the professional artist
intellectual property issues and legislation associated with the chosen art form as a professional practice
sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in the chosen art form

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.
Ways in which the use of different art forms or media might enhance current practice may include: | access to new forms of research challenging established ways of doing things collaborative opportunities integrating different art forms to create multidisciplinary work opportunities to learn new skills synergies between skills. |
Technical problems may relate to: | error in use of materials impact of temperature or other environmental conditions limitations of materials limitations of process limitations of technique size and scale of work. |
Experimentation and testing may include: | adapting challenging comparing contrasting evaluating. |
Professional expertise relates to: | highly-developed command in the selected art form or media of: materials processes techniques. |
Critical and creative thinking ability involves: | analysis of complex and abstract ideas and theories working effectively with concepts, such as: adapting analysing and evaluating actions and policies challenging clarifying issues, values and standards comparing similar situations comparing and contrasting ideals with practice comparing and evaluating beliefs, interpretations and theories debating and discussing developing criteria for evaluation distinguishing relevant from irrelevant facts examining and evaluating assumptions exploring implications and consequences generating and assessing solutions judging making interdisciplinary connections making plausible inferences and predictions noting significant similarities and differences nuance, subtlety and distinction questioning reading and listening critically reflecting. |
Concepts for new work may include: | change to existing work approaches based on work in a second art form ideas that integrate original and new skills. |
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.
