Qualification -
Unit of Competency CUVVSP01B - Produce calligraphy
Description This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce calligraphic work through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools and materials. As such the range of techniques could be quite varied and broad in nature. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under limited supervision.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 It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the following units:CUVVCR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own workCUVCOR08B Produce drawing to represent and communicate the conceptCUVCOR12B Review history and theory for application to artistic practice.Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:CUVCRS08B Document the work progressCUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work.

  • Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed calligraphic work based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information.
  • Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision.
  • Select techniques based on the conceptual vision.
  • Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements.
       
Element: Realise the calligraphic work.
  • Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed calligraphic work based on the plan of work.
  • Safely use and adapt techniques, tools and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision.
  • Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process.
       


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:

production of calligraphy which demonstrates a command of selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision

knowledge of materials and tools and how they are used and extended in calligraphic work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple examples of calligraphic work or a single major work.

Method of assessment

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

evaluation of work

direct observation of calligraphic work in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions

verbal and written reports

review of portfolios of evidence.

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).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to apply and extend calligraphy techniques.

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 read product safety labels

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and determine layout issues.

Required knowledge:

the physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials and tools used in calligraphic work

work space requirements for calligraphic work, including ways of organising and maintaining space

ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques and materials to achieve different effects in calligraphic work

general knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to the production of calligraphic work

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools used in calligraphic work

general knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for calligraphic work

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in calligraphic work

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to calligraphic work.

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.

Tools may include:

disposable calligraphy pens

range of paint brushes

self made pen from bamboo, feather (as quill), reed

steel nibs in pen holders

tools adapted for a specific purpose.

Materials may include:

fabric e.g. cotton, linen or silk

gold leaf

gouache

inks

papers of differing weights and textures

perspex, glass

vellum

watercolour

wood.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

process-specific procedures

recycling

reporting

safety

use of materials.

Safety requirements would be in accordance with:

Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

light

ventilation

wet and dry areas.

Assessing the capabilities of the techniques, tools and materials may involve:

producing test pieces or samples

systematically testing a range of processes.

Extending capabilities of techniques refers to:

discovering new ways of using them

exploring the potential of techniques.

Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques which may include:

application of decoration to pen and drawn letterform

application of pen skills for a purpose e.g. loosen up movements of the pen to make linear marks of differing intensity and character - thick sharp, thin curvilinear

penning a range of letterforms, e.g. Roman, Uncial, Carolingian, Gothic, Italic, Foundational, Copperplate

variation of weight and size of letterform.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:

elements and principles of design

the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context

the subject matter or theme for the calligraphy, e.g. the body; identity, land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to:

access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques

consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed calligraphy

ease of application of the techniques

personal affinity with the 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.
