Target/codes: combine a chosen contour/fill with a deliberate between-shape gap into an original art image; AC9AVAFD01 and AC9AVAFC01. Prepare: contour/silhouette, gap-between, art choice record.
- Welcome · 3 min. Invite a non-personal purpose: an invented library tale, game scene, garden fantasy or child's own safe idea. This is art, not a Science observation record.
- Model · 4 min. Make two broad abstract forms on a blank page: one outline and one filled. Leave a clear notch-shaped gap. Name each decision without telling children what it must mean.
- Try together · 5 min. Child suggests a different outline/fill or gap choice; adult restates their plan and checks which feature was theirs.
- Child choice · 7 min. Child draws, arranges fixed broad shapes or directs an adult to create a new image with one chosen treatment and one gap. Invite one revision after looking; save the first plan if permitted. No tracing of real art or plant features is required.
- Notice · 4 min. Record intended idea, visible formal choices, actual maker/handler and any revision. If the work remains spoken/drawn planning, do not claim child physical collage handling.
- Close · 2 min. Child chooses whether to keep, privately show later or discard the practice image.
