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:

use the process of drawing and visual representation to support professional activities in art and design practice

apply a broad range of drawing techniques.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

hand and digital drawing tools and equipment.

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 completed drawings prepared by the candidate in terms of the way they express ideas

evaluation of processes used by the candidate in relation to drawing and visual representation

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 discuss ideas with others

critical thinking skills to evaluate information and ideas about potentially complex and abstract concepts

initiative and enterprise skills to see opportunities for enhancement of practice through drawing development

learning and self-management skills to evaluate own work in terms of professional development needs

problem-solving skills to use drawing and visual representation as part of the problem-solving process

technical skills to apply different drawing techniques

technology skills to experiment with digital drawing techniques.

Required knowledge

role of drawing and visual representation in different areas of visual communication practice

different approaches to drawing and visualising

potential benefits and uses of drawing skills to the professional practitioner

typical ways in which drawing can be used at a professional level as an idea, or problem-solving and research tool

physical properties and capabilities of a wide range of materials and tools used in drawing and visual representation

intellectual property issues and legislation in relation to drawing and visualisation

sustainability considerations for drawing as a professional practice tool

OHS issues associated with the tools and materials used for drawing and visual representation, including use of computers.

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.

Barriers to drawing may include:

‘I can’t draw’ belief

fear of failure

lack of experience

negative perception of the value of drawing

preference for other ways of communicating

previous bad experience with drawing.

Ways in which drawing and other visual representation tools could be used may include use of these tools to:

enhance own perceptions of form, space, etc.

gain commercial advantage

refine and adapt ideas

resolve technical problems in creative work.

Materials and techniques may include:

black and white media

charcoal

coloured media

conte

gouache

ink

Multimedia approaches may include:

collage

combining different markers

use of digital media

use of various papers.

Place of drawing and visual representation in own practice may refer to decisions about:

collation and storage of drawings as a reference source

how to enhance and maintain drawing skills

incorporation of drawing into particular art forms

keeping a visual diary

use of electronic or hand drawing.
