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!

  2. Match potential techniques to the ideas for the work with the assistance of key people
  3. Test nominated techniques to determine the effects they achieve
  4. Safely use selected techniques to produce digital images
  5. Calculate correct quantities of materials required and minimise waste where possible
  6. Clean and store tools, equipment and materials according to safety requirements and specific needs of different items

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 series of digital images where the techniques and materials support the idea for the work

apply knowledge of materials and equipment used in digital imaging work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and materials used in digital imaging 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:

direct observation of digital imaging work in progress

questioning and discussion of 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:

CUVPRP201A Make simple creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss the process for producing digital imaging with others

understand and follow instructions

learning skills to:

improve techniques for producing digital images through practice

respond appropriately to feedback

literacy skills to read product and equipment safety labels

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to prepare and set up resources and work space.

Required knowledge

materials, tools and equipment commonly used for digital imaging

major styles of digital imaging and the work of key practitioners relevant to individual area of interest

typical work space and equipment requirements for the production of different types of digital images

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in producing digital images

elements and principles of design – what they are and what they mean

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

ways of minimising waste in the use of digital imaging tools, materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to digital imaging 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.

Tools and equipment may include:

computer

digital camera

digital imaging software

guillotine

output device

scanner.

Materials may include:

a range of papers for printing

hard copy source material, such as:

magazine clippings

paintings

photos.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

recycling

reporting

safety.

Key peoplemay include:

arts practitioners

mentors

supervisors

teachers.

Ideas may be influenced by:

current capability with techniques

historical and theoretical contexts

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.

Process used to test techniques may include:

further practice with techniques to acquire, manipulate and print images while also manipulating variables, such as:

brightness

colour depth

contrast

resolution

producing samples.

Techniques would generally be quite limited in nature and may include:

acquiring images:

from the internet

through digital photography

through scanning

manipulating images using basic features of imaging software

outputting images in appropriate file formats:

GIF

JPEG

PDF

PICT

PNG

PSD

TIFF

printing hard copies of images

uploading images to the internet.
