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:

independently realise creative work that shows highly developed command of techniques, materials and processes with selected art forms and media

evolve and refine ways of working with materials and processes through a demonstrated process of experimentation

integrate new and existing skills and ideas in a way that supports coherence of the overall work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce work in chosen art form.

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 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:

collaborate with others about nature and opportunities of new work forms

engage in informed discussion around art materials, processes and techniques

critical thinking and analytical skills to evaluate new ideas, and new art forms and media for application to own practice

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by different art forms and media

learning skills to:

develop expertise to a professional practice standard

evaluate and act on own development needs

literacy skills to analyse varied and technical information about art materials, processes and techniques

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems during experimentation and testing

self-management and planning skills to draw together research and experimentation processes for benefit of own work

technology skills to conduct web-based research.

Required knowledge

relationship between materials, processes and techniques in the chosen art form

connections and associations between different art forms and media

work of other artists in the chosen art form

cultural, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, political and commercial influences on the chosen art form, in historical and contemporary contexts

processes of research and concept development used by the professional artist

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with the chosen art form as a professional practice

sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in the chosen art form

organisational and legislative OHS procedures in relation to the chosen art form.

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.

Ways in which the use of different art forms or media might enhance current practice may include:

access to new forms of research

challenging established ways of doing things

collaborative opportunities

integrating different art forms to create multidisciplinary work

opportunities to learn new skills

synergies between skills.

Technical problems may relate to:

error in use of materials

impact of temperature or other environmental conditions

limitations of materials

limitations of process

limitations of technique

size and scale of work.

Experimentation and testing may include:

adapting

challenging

comparing

contrasting

evaluating.

Professional expertise relates to:

highly-developed command in the selected art form or media of:

materials

processes

techniques.

Critical and creative thinking ability involves:

analysis of complex and abstract ideas and theories

working effectively with concepts, such as:

adapting

analysing and evaluating actions and policies

challenging

clarifying issues, values and standards

comparing similar situations

comparing and contrasting ideals with practice

comparing and evaluating beliefs, interpretations and theories

debating and discussing

developing criteria for evaluation

distinguishing relevant from irrelevant facts

examining and evaluating assumptions

exploring implications and consequences

generating and assessing solutions

judging

making interdisciplinary connections

making plausible inferences and predictions

noting significant similarities and differences

nuance, subtlety and distinction

questioning

reading and listening critically

reflecting.

Concepts for new work may include:

change to existing work approaches based on work in a second art form

ideas that integrate original and new skills.
