Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

solve design challenges through the application of colour theory and design processes

apply knowledge of the ways in which colour theory and design processes may be used in the production of design or artwork.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

tools, materials and equipment used in the design process in the relevant context.

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 processes used by the candidate to solve design challenges

evaluation of a candidate’s visual diary or other forms of documentation showing the development of the designs

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the 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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to present and discuss ideas about design

critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate information from a wide range of sources in order to develop design ideas

initiative and enterprise skills to consider new and different ways of achieving required design outcomes

literacy skills to interpret information about design and colour from a range of sources

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical and conceptual design issues

numeracy skills to use numerical aspects of software programs

self-management skills to plan and coordinate own work

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool.

Required knowledge

awareness of the notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process, including the potential limitations of sticking too closely to theory

ways in which colour theory and design processes can be explored and combined to meet the needs of a brief

materials, tools and equipment required for the production of samples that integrate colour theory and design processes

how other artists and designers have applied colour theory and design processes

intellectual property issues and legislation and their impact on aspects of design

role and nature of a brief within the design process, including different types of briefs and how designers use them

sustainability considerations for the design process in the relevant context

OHS procedures relevant to design context.

Range Statement

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.

Sources of information may include:

art and design work

books and magazines

manufactured structures

natural and architectural forms

optics

personal observation

scientific texts

software programs.

Materials may include:

metal

stone

wood

fabrics and textiles

fixing agents and mechanisms

paints and inks

papers and cardboard

Tools and equipment may include:

air guns and brushes

clamps

cutting blades

digital equipment

hand tools

light sources

pens and nibs

receptacles

rulers
