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:

develop ideas and techniques through a process of research and experimentation

produce multiple finished thrown ceramic objects that demonstrate a command of techniques

apply knowledge of throwing techniques, equipment and materials.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

materials, tools and equipment needed for throwing 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 throwing 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 creative work from a technical and conceptual perspective

create a record of the thrown ceramic work

initiative and enterprise skills to:

experiment with throwing techniques to enhance final wheel-formed ceramic work

apply critical thinking and analytical skills when developing ideas for wheel-formed ceramic work

learning skills to:

refine and improve a range of techniques

evaluate quality of own work and identify ways to enhance own practice

literacy skills to undertake research about the work of other throwing artists and arts practitioners

numeracy skills to:

evaluate resource costs

calculate material requirements

planning and organising skills to plan work tasks and resources

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical and conceptual issues in throwing work

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool.

Required knowledge

ways to adapt, extend and combine the capabilities of a range of throwing materials and techniques

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials and tools used in throwing

characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects

formal elements and principles of design and how they may be used, adapted and challenged in throwing work

research methodologies used by artists

historical and theoretical contexts for throwing and how they may be used to inform individual practice

sources of resources for throwing

intellectual property issues and legislation to be considered by independent arts practitioners

sustainability considerations for the professional operation of a ceramics practice

OHS requirements for the set-up and operation of throwing work space.
