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.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of digital images which demonstrate a highly developed command of the selected techniques and which are consistent with the conceptual vision

in depth knowledge of techniques, materials and equipment and the ways they may be adapted and extended.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple digital images or a single major work.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of digital imaging work in progress, including exploration of and experimentation with techniques

questioning and discussion about candidate's intentions and the work outcome

verbal and written reports

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

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 a speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials and resources needed to produce digital images.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

research skills and sources of information to inform experimentation in the production of digital work

sources of equipment and software used for digital imaging work

work space requirements for digital imaging work, including selection and set up of work space for particular types of work

literacy skills sufficient to interpret information and material about the work of other digital artists and to read equipment instructions

numeracy skills sufficient to deal with issues such as equipment capacity, optimum resolutions, storage capacity of various storage mediums.

Required knowledge:

the role of experimentation in developing and refining concepts for digital images

detailed knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of techniques and equipment used in digital imaging work and the maintenance of equipment

the characteristics of different techniques and equipment and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects

the formal elements and principles of design and how these may be used, adapted and challenged in the development of concepts for digital imaging work

the historical and theoretical contexts for digital imaging work and how this may be used to inform own artistic practice

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with digital imaging work

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation 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.

Within this unit the candidate would generally demonstrate a command of a broad range of techniques as the basis for experimentation and innovation. Techniques may include:

acquiring an image through scanning, digital photography or from the Internet

manipulating the image by means of a range of imaging applications utilising features extensively

matching resolution and format of output to reproduction requirements

outputting images as prints, CD-ROM or other storage medium and to the Web.

Materials may include:

a range of printing surfaces including papers, acetate, fabrics.

Equipment may include:

computer

digital camera

discs and memory cards

imaging applications

output devices

scanner.

Extending capabilities through:

experimentation encourages the exploration of the full potential of the art form and involves innovation.

Research may involve:

approaching individuals with relevant expertise

attending lectures and talks

conducting material and technical experiments and tests

seeking out information in books, journals, newspapers, the internet

Intellectual property, copyright and moral rights requirements may relate to:

extent to which the work may be used

procedures for seeking permission to use the work of others, including systems for the administration of copyright

protocols for the adaptation of work by others.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:

elements and principles of design

the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context

the subject matter or theme for the digital images, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

Refining the conceptual vision may include:

adjustment to consideration of elements and principles of design

adjustment to subject matter or theme

adjustment to utilise the extended capabilities of the technique

no change.

Resources or services may include:

commercial outlets

imaging bureaux

Internet

share ware

software resources
