Unit of Competency | CUVVSP59B - Research and experiment with techniques to produce wood objects |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with various techniques and media for the realisation of wood objects. It outlines the way wood objects 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: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 workCUVCRS08B 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 in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of wood objects which demonstrate a highly developed command of the selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision in-depth knowledge of techniques, materials, tools and equipment and the ways they may be adapted and extended for the production of wood objects. |
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 wood objects 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 work in progress, including exploration of and experimentation with techniques questioning and discussion about candidate's intentions and the work outcome verbal and written reports 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 such a 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 produce wood objects. |

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 the production of wood objects literacy skills sufficient to interpret information and material about the work of other artists who produce wood objects numeracy skills sufficient to evaluate resource costs and to calculate material quantities. |
Required knowledge: the role of experimentation in developing and refining concepts for wood objects detailed knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used in the production of wood objects the characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects formal elements and principles of design and how these may be used, adapted and challenged in the development of concepts for wood objects historical and theoretical contexts for wood objects and how this may be used to inform own artistic practice copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with wood objects sources of raw, part-processed and processed materials and other resources for the production of wood objects work space requirements for the production of wood objects, including selection and set up of work space for particular types of work environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in the production of wood objects, including the potential issues associated with new approaches organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to the production of wood objects. |
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. | |
Wood objects may include: | carved panels, e.g. low or high relief, small or large scale, carved vessels furniture, hardware items, e.g. carved doors, windows and other architectural elements implements, e.g. tableware, including a range of flatware and bowls jewellery |
musical instruments sculpture other functional items, e.g. clocks. | |
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: | assemblage carving combining with other materials synthetic and/or natural digital techniques laminating manufacture of full scale mock ups model making production and use of jig prototyping simple marquetry steam bending welding (for metal elements) wood finishing wood turning wooden tool making. |
Materials may include: | found objects and materials industrial/synthetic materials metals and alloys natural materials oxidising agents and other patina agents those required for assembling/joining wood and other materials, e.g. for binding wire, rope, string, thread, fibres those required for wood finishing, e.g. sandpapers, paints, glues, stains, lacquers those required for wood shaping and turning wood and wood products. |

Takingaction may involve: | deciding on presentation method seeking external assistance, e.g. installation, transport 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.
