This third original fortnight follows Weeks 1–2 line/shape/overlap and Weeks 3–4 size/frame/open-region/mark. Children now explore contour, filled silhouette and the gap made between two broad forms using entirely invented geometry. They then choose and arrange large adult-prepared paper/card pieces for a cut-free layered collage, with optional approved physical marking/placing, a child's stated idea, revision and consent-led sharing. A paper plan is still valuable when material handling is unsuitable; it is not logged as a physical process.

This complements integrated Week 5 living-feature observation and Week 6 material/holder inquiry. The invented fork form is not a plant or animal specimen. A real local plant feature can inform an artwork only after the separate Science source/safety gate; an art choice does not establish species, growth or grouping. Week 6 collage choices are about what the image communicates, not whether paper or card is stronger for a holder.

Start with practice sources and school-gated materials. Use ten fully timed 25-minute scripts, thirty switchable same-goal routes, twenty worked life-domain examples, eight original A4 SVG/PDF pairs and exact linear/tactile/no-material routes, and two fresh public checks with a separate public educator key. Each day includes an optional no-purchase home bridge. No child must cut, paint, touch an unfamiliar surface, explain a personal feeling, identify with a culture or share publicly.

The exact ACARA v9/QCAA Prep crosswalk separates developing/creating, an authorised real artwork encounter and actual sharing. The rights ledger, role desk walkthrough, read-only verifier and SHA receipt state what is evidenced. This is an author-reviewed draft, not a QCAA-endorsed unit, full-year course, secure exam, pilot or proven child outcome.
