Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
produce drawings where the techniques and materials support the ideas for the work
apply knowledge of drawing tools, equipment and materials.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
equipment and materials used to produce drawings.
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 drawings 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
