Target/codes: independently crop an invented round form at a frame edge and preserve a purposeful open region; AC9AVAFD01, AC9AVAFC01, AC9AVAFP01 only if actually shared. Prepare: public Check J, J A4, broad fixed round form. Keep key closed until first response.
- Welcome · 3 min. Explain the new frame choice is a low-stakes art probe; there is no single beautiful answer.
- Access · 4 min. Present a blank frame and an invented round paper wheel. Read the two conditions: show only part of the wheel at the frame edge; leave one clear region for a possible word later. Do not position the form for the child.
- Independent plan · 5 min. Child decides where the crop and open region will be; they can respond by drawing, directing or fixed tactile cards.
- Child response · 7 min. Child creates or directs the picture and says where the missing continuation would be. Record first response and whether any actual willing person later sees it.
- Self-check · 4 min. Ask “Can we see the whole wheel?” and “Where is the space you kept clear?” Do not reveal the key until after first response.
- Close · 2 min. Keep child-approved work, open key, and plan the next genuine material and real-art encounters where held.
