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 an individual approach to the use of light and colour in own work
produce a coherent body of professional artwork that shows a command of light and colour
research the use of light and colour, both within and beyond the visual arts context.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
equipment, materials and tools used in the relevant art form.
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 the use of light and colour within a body of work produced by the candidate
evaluation of processes used by the candidate to explore light and colour
direct observation of work 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:
art form specialisation units
graphic design units
photo imaging units.
