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:

produce a body of observational drawings that show well-developed technique through accurate perspective and effective depiction of light, shade and space

select media and tools to suit the needs of a particular drawing project.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

drawing materials 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 drawing technique within a body of work produced by the candidate

direct observation of drawing in progress, including exploration of, and experimentation with, techniques

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 seek feedback from others on observational drawings

critical thinking and analytical skills to:

evaluate the relevance of other historical and contemporary drawing to own practice

investigate and select media and tools to achieve the desired outcome of work

initiative and enterprise skills to identify opportunities for observational drawing in own professional practice

learning skills to identify need for further development of observational drawing skills

literacy skills to read and interpret varied information on drawing

self-management and planning skills to plan and complete a body of observational drawing work

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues and challenges with own observational drawing technique

technical skills to master the technical aspects of observational drawing.

Required knowledge

role of observational drawing in different types of professional practice

specific techniques used in observational drawing

tools, media and techniques to achieve particular effects in observational drawings

historical and contemporary approaches to observational drawing, either in the context of own practice or more broadly

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with drawing as part of a professional practice

sustainability issues associated with drawing tools and materials

organisational and legislative OHS procedures in relation to drawing.

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.

Specific techniques and considerations include:

accurate perception of shape

approaches to line and edges

approaches to perspective

coordination of hand and eye

depiction of light and shade

representation of space.

Ways to achieve perspective may include:

changing eye level

one and two point perspective

vanishing points.

Use of lines and edges may include:

angles

contours

cross-contouring to show three-dimensional shape

relationships

use of no line.

Ways to recognise and accurately represent space may include:

composition

framing

use of positive and negative space.

Different techniques to observe and depict light and shade may include:

changes in tone across surfaces and planes

perception of tone or value

use of different light sources.

Problems in own drawing technique may relate to:

challenge of selecting best media to achieve desired effects

excessive time required to achieve the outcome or desired effect

technical shortcomings.

Media and tools may include:

black and white media

charcoal

coloured media

conte

gouache

ink

paint

pastel, including oil pastel

pencil

watercolour.

Key objectives may relate to:

presentation of ideas

presentation of finished work

resolution of design challenges

resolution of technical issues in object creation.
