Unit of Competency CUVCOR12B - Review history and theory for application to artistic practice
Description This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to source and review information on history and theory for application to own work. The unit goes beyond the general understanding of an area of work (covered in unit CUVCOR11B Source information on history and theory and apply to own area of work) to encompass the notion of linking knowledge to one's own practice. The unit provides underpinning skills and knowledge for all areas of arts practice.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Not Applicable
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites This unit underpins many specialisation units, and combined assessment and/or training with those units is highly recommended.

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.

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

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

demonstration of effective use of information within own arts practice

general knowledge of history and theory and the ways in which it may be used within own work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

project or work activities that allow the candidate to review and apply information to the development of work.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

case studies to assess ability to review information for application to different work contexts

questioning and discussing candidate's intentions and the work outcome

written or verbal reports

written and visual documentation

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

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 e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to identify, select, gather and evaluate information. It also requires resources to assist the integration of the selected information into the development of the work.

Submission Requirements

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

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:

literacy skills sufficient to source, organise, evaluate information on history and theory for integration into own arts practice.

Required knowledge:

general knowledge about sources of information about history and theory relevant to own arts practice

theoretical and historical contexts relevant to own arts practice, including work of other artists

knowledge about information organisation practices to assist in arts practice

awareness of copyright and intellectual property issues and legislation in relation to the use of information and ideas in own work

ways in which history and theory may be used in the development of own arts practice.

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.

the use of contrasting techniques

the use or adaptation of particular techniques.

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.
