People working in all areas of arts practice apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. A typical context would be public art, which involves the creation of artworks in public spaces. At this level, work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.
More complex skills associated with selecting and planning work at sites are covered in CUVPRP402A Select sites for creative projects and plan work.

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.
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the ability to: contribute to the process of selecting work options that are responsive to the characteristics of nominated sites source information about nominated sites document work plans. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure access to: a site where work is being planned. |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: evaluation of the candidate’s role in assisting with the planning of work for a specific site evaluation of work plans or research completed by the candidate questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and work outcome review of portfolios of evidence review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners. 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. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CUVPRP302A Document the work progress CUVRES201A Source and use information relevant to own arts practice. |
