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:

evolve and refine painting technique through a demonstrated process of experimentation

develop individual style in own work

produce a coherent body of professional artwork that includes the use of well-developed painting technique

research painting technique in the broader context of other artwork and artists

use safe and sustainable work practices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment, materials and tools used to produce painting 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 painting technique within a body of work produced by the candidate

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

evaluation of the work documentation

direct observation of painting 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, for example:

CUVPRP501A Realise a body of creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to engage with others about the technical and conceptual aspects of painting

critical thinking and analytical skills to:

evaluate and make judgements about relationships between painting technique, effects and ideas

make critical evaluations of own painting technique

make critical evaluations of research findings

initiative and enterprise skills to identify and act on opportunities for own practice presented by research and experimentation

learning skills to develop and refine own skills to a professional practice standard

literacy skills to analyse complex and varied information about painting technique

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical problems in painting work

self-management and planning skills to create a coherent body of painting work

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

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool.

Required knowledge

relationship between painting technique, particular effects and ideas – in the work of other artists and in the context of own practice

extended range of information sources that support research in painting practice

cultural, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, political and commercial influences on painting technique, in historical and contemporary contexts

professional development opportunities for artists seeking to develop a painting practice

elements and principles of design and how they may be used, adapted and challenged in the creation of work

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with painting as a professional practice

sustainability issues for the professional operation of a painting practice

OHS requirements for the set-up and operation of a professional work space for painting work.
