All are original invented practice models, with adult choices a learner can replace. A described fold/stand/view is not a real result. Four check-day examples are AFTER first check capture only, use different sources and remain separate from the held W/X brief. No cultural motif, personal story, actual rhythm, counted partition or capacity result is supplied.

Day Worked context 1 Worked context 2
71 Sky postcard: adult chooses a left hinge; a broad cloud mark is outside and one curved moon line would appear inside. Choice: side-opening so the curve appears beside the cloud. This is fiction, not astronomy. Paper bookshop picture: choose a lower hinge; outside is a plain shelf line, inside a large oval mark. Choice: opening upward would reveal the oval above the shelf. No actual shop is represented.
72 Imaginary journey: outside is a short straight path; inside a long curved continuation. Adult reason: opening makes the journey seem to continue. These picture parts do not form a maths partition check. Story theatre prop: outside is a large arch, inside a wide star shape. Adult reason: arch makes an entry, star makes the revealed event. No actual theatre or audience is claimed.
73 Toy city picture: first placement leaves a tall bar peeping over the flap; second hides it fully. Adult chooses the peeping version to hint at a tower. An actual child may choose complete hiding. Invented aquarium card: first broad wavy line is outside; second is inside. Adult chooses inside so opening reveals a wave after a plain outer circle. No real animal or water observation.
74 Paper joke artwork: outside is an enormous round nose-like mark, inside two long shoe-like shapes. Adult chooses a bottom hinge to reveal the shoes; all humour/interpretation is invented, not universal. Quiet-place artwork: outside one curved border, inside an open white area with one short line. Adult chooses side opening to preserve the open area. A viewer's actual feeling is not predicted.
75 AFTER first check capture only — comet booklet: source says “plain square paper”; model A opens left and reveals a curved trail, B opens bottom and reveals the trail upward. Choose A to put the trail beside an outer round mark. Fold/marks are artist decisions. AFTER first check capture only — imaginary railway picture: supplied broad square; model A shows a line outside and arch inside, B shows arch outside and line inside. Choose B so the line seems to leave the arch when opened. No actual rail route or safety sign.
76 Abstract paper hillside: broad front face has a curved line; side view shows a plain support face. Adult chooses the front to emphasise the curve. A paper plan does not prove the form stood. Fantasy skyline: front face has one broad bar; side face gets one arch. Adult chooses side to bring the arch into view, with actual view status still unobserved until a form is made/turned.
77 Imaginary road artwork: a long line continues across the bend; front sees its first section, side sees the continuation. Adult reason: a viewer can follow a path around the work. It is not a functional route sign. Paper mountain image: a triangle-like mark deliberately stops before the bend; side face remains open. Adult reason: the blank side contrasts with the front image. No real landform observation.
78 Abstract wave form: child-chosen plan has a broad curve across two faces; an adult makes it only if directed. Standing is NOT TRIED until a safe actual placement. A flat version remains original art. Invented village silhouette: broad bar/arch marks occupy front and side; the adult model proposes a low folded form. A real placement would record stood/did not stand for that moment; no capacity or structure-strength result follows.
79 MODEL viewing conversation: invented maker says “side shows the arch”; invented viewer says “I notice the arch.” This is rehearsal only. An actual willing person's exact reply may be logged later if the child shares. Fictional artwork note: invented source says “this paper form welcomes visitors”; model notices a wide front and states the note's welcome purpose separately. It cannot supply a real community encounter; use the cleared source slot.
80 AFTER first check capture only — paper zigzag scene: source is a new plain zigzag card; one curved path crosses its first two faces. Front would show curve start, side its continuation. Choose side for the continuing path; actual standing unobserved. AFTER first check capture only — folded story badge: source is a different broad card with a side bend; a short bar ends before the bend and an oval sits on the side face. Choose side to show the oval, keep bar intentionally separate. Mark placement is the artist's choice.

Invite new contexts from a learner's interests without inferring preferences from identity or family circumstances. Original mark meanings can differ between learners. Keep the two views of one art form separate from an actual sound, a mathematical collection or a vessel comparison.
