Learner choices

Target/codes: create an original layered art image and revise one visible decision from inspection; AC9AVAFD01 and AC9AVAFC01. Prepare: layer order, art choice record, school-approved large shapes or no-material route.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Child chooses a fictional audience/idea: a story scene, game-card image, quiet sign or another invented topic. The art need not function as a holder.
  2. Model · 4 min. Arrange a large curved shape before an angular one, then change only which is front. Say what edge is now visible; do not judge one as universally better.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child proposes a different one-feature revision; adult points to exactly what will stay and change.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child makes or directs a cut-free image with at least two large forms, a chosen contour/filled area and a deliberate overlap/gap. They keep or revise one feature and explain their intention. Physical placement only with school approval.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Record first and revised visual state, child's reason, actual material handler and any unknown. A photo/retention requires school permission; an adult note suffices otherwise.
  6. Close · 2 min. Ask whether the child wants to make the work available to a private willing audience later; a pass is fine.
