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!

CUVACD503A - Select and refine a specialised drawing technique

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Evaluate and select drawing technique

  1. Examine the needs of own practice in terms of drawing technique
  2. Consider the external factors that impact on drawing in professional practice
  3. Reflect on the opportunities offered by expertise with particular techniques
  4. Take account of the limitations and constraints of particular techniques
  5. Select particular painting techniques for refinement based on their suitability for the purpose or particular brief

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 finished drawings for professional work that show technical command and confidence with the selected technique

refine a selected drawing technique through a demonstrated process of practice and experimentation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce drawings.

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

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to evolve and refine technique

direct observation of work 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 discuss technical aspects of drawing with others

critical thinking and analytical skills to make critical evaluations of own drawing technique

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different drawing techniques

learning skills to:

develop and refine own drawing skills to a professional practice standard

evaluate and act on own development needs in terms of technique

literacy skills to analyse varied information about drawing technique

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in drawing technique

self-management and planning skills to create a body of drawings

technical skills to show command of chosen drawing techniques at a professional level.

Required knowledge

capabilities of selected drawing technique

indicators of quality with the chosen technique

potential of different techniques to achieve different effects relevant to own area of practice

typical problems and challenges in application of the selected technique

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with drawing

sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in drawing

OHS requirements 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.

Drawing techniques may include:

caricature

cartooning

computer-aided drawing

figure drawing

observational drawing

other digital drawing techniques

technical drawing.

External factors may include:

availability of software

established practice in particular area of work

market expectations.

Opportunities may relate to:

commercial potential

communication of ideas

personal affinity with particular techniques

potential for combining techniques

potential for interactions between technique and media

themes in work.

Limitations and constraints may relate to:

availability of materials

capacity of technique to deliver required effect

own interaction with technique

resources, such as the cost of purchasing software

time.

Refinement relates to:

ability to use technique with confidence

ability to maximise the creative potential.

Safe work practices may include:

managing risk

use of tools and equipment

use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Technical problems may include:

implications of scale and size

limitations of materials

limitations of processes or technology.

Command and confidence relate to:

creation of work at a professional standard

sound understanding of technique

technical ability

wide range of techniques.

Professional development needs and opportunities may include:

collaboration

further study
