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 multiple pieces of calligraphic work that show some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt and extend the capabilities of calligraphic techniques and resources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and tools used to produce calligraphic work.

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 technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of calligraphy in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and 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, for example:

CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to discuss ideas for calligraphy with others

learning skills to:

improve calligraphy techniques through practice and some experimentation

respond constructively to feedback

literacy skills to read product safety labels and instructions on use

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce calligraphy

self-management skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials and tools used in calligraphic work

ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques and materials to achieve different effects in calligraphic work

historical and theoretical contexts for calligraphic work

work space requirements for calligraphic work

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools used in calligraphic work

elements and principles of design and their particular application to calligraphy work

intellectual property issues associated with calligraphic work

sustainability issues associated with the tools and materials used in calligraphic work

organisational and legislative OHS procedures in relation to calligraphic work.

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.

Ideas may be influenced by:

current capability with techniques

historical and theoretical context

subject matter or theme for the work, such as:

built environment

land and place

natural world

political, cultural and social issues

the body

spiritual concerns.

Techniques may include:

application of decoration to pen and drawn letterform

application of pen skills for a purpose, such as to loosen up movements of the pen to make linear marks of differing intensity and character (e.g. thick sharp, thin curvilinear)

penning a range of letterforms, such as:

Carolingian

Copperplate

Foundational

Gothic

Italic

Roman

Uncial

variation of weight and size of letterform.

Key peoplemay include:

mentors

other artists

peers

supervisors

teachers.

Strategies used to assess the capabilities of techniques may involve:

producing test pieces or samples

systematically testing a range of processes.

Tools may include:

brushes, including:

disposable calligraphy pens

paint brushes

handmade pen from materials, such as:

bamboo

feather

reed

steel nibs in pen holders

tools adapted for specific purposes.
