Unit of Competency | CUVVSP02B - Research and experiment with techniques to produce calligraphy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with various techniques and media for the realisation of calligraphic work. It outlines the way calligraphic works are produced through the use of experimentation and ongoing refinement. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out independently, although guidance would be available if required.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:CUVCOR04B Originate concept for own work and conduct critical discourseCUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent and communicate the conceptCUVCOR13B Research and critically analyse history and theory to inform artistic practice.Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:CUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished workCUVCRR08B Document the work progress. | ||

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 calligraphic work which demonstrates a highly developed command of the selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision in depth knowledge of techniques, materials and tools and the ways they may be adapted and extended. |
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: direct observation of calligraphic work in progress, including exploration of and experimentation with techniques evaluation of completed work questioning and discussion about candidate's intentions and the work outcome 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 and resources needed to apply calligraphy techniques and to extend them through exploration and experimentation. | |

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: research skills and sources of information to inform experimentation in calligraphic work literacy skills sufficient to interpret information and material about the work of other calligraphers numeracy skills sufficient to evaluate resource costs and to calculate layout issues. |
Required knowledge: the role of experimentation in developing and refining concepts for calligraphy work detailed knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials and tools used in calligraphic work the characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects the formal elements and principles of design and how these may be used, adapted and challenged in the development of concepts for calligraphy work the historical and theoretical contexts for calligraphic work and how this may be used to inform own artistic practice copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with calligraphic work sources of raw, part-processed and processed materials and other resources for calligraphic work work space requirements for calligraphic work including selection and set up of work space for particular types of work environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in calligraphic work, including the potential issues associated with new approaches 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. | |
Extending capabilities through | experimentation encourages the exploration of the full potential of the art form and involves innovation. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally demonstrate a command of a broad range of techniques as the basis for experimentation and innovation. Techniques may include: | lettering fully integrated with decorated elements, e.g. a letter of the alphabet intertwined with illustrated plant letters formed with illusion of depth letters formed with linear perspective (vanishing points) overlay of text in translucent materials text over collaged imagery in a range of styles. |
Materials may include: | fabric, e.g. cotton, linen or silk gesso, impasto gold leaf gouache inks papers of differing weights and textures perspex, glass vellum watercolour wood. |
Tools may include: | air brushes Asian brushes disposable calligraphy pens self made pen from bamboo, feather (as quill) steel nibs in pen holders tools adapted for specific purposes. |
Techniques for calligraphy may also include extending, building upon and combining the following techniques: | 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 in weight and size of letterform. |
Particular safety or environmental issues may include: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards personal protection recycling safe disposal of waste. |
Research may involve: | approaching individuals with relevant expertise attending lectures and talks conducting material and technical experiments and tests seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers visiting exhibitions, museums. |
Intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements may relate to: | extent to which the work may be used procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyright protocols for the adaptation of work by others. |
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 ceramic work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
Refining the conceptual vision may include: | adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of design adjustment to subject matter or theme adjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the technique no change. |
Sources of supply may include: | commercial outlets found objects or materials manufacturing or factory waste nature. |
Cost and other constraints may relate to: | availability of materials and tools budgeting sponsorship timeframe. |
Workplace requirements may include: | drying space lighting ventilation wet and dry areas. |
Issues of presentation may include: | cost practical considerations presentation context timeframe. |
Taking action may involve: | deciding on presentation method seeking external assistance (framing, bookbinding, printing) selecting and preparing work for presentation. |
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.
