Ten 12-minute original making blocks: two each in Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts. These are short creation opportunities, not each discipline's complete Years 9–10 program. They do not imitate community-owned motifs, cultural performance or a named artist. No public performance, recording, device, special art material, dance movement or loud sound is required. A directed, tactile, silent or notated route is valid evidence of choreography, composition, interpretation or design as specified; actual performance is claimed only when it occurred. Use the clean learner cards, creative print/text aid and quiet original audio or equivalent beat text. Rhythm: 0–2 idea; 2–4 model a choice; 4–10 A/B/C create/revise; 10–12 collect and give next move. The two extra fresh Arts checks are public formative prompts.
Arts Day 11 · Waiting-room motif · Dance · AC9ADA10C01
0–2: Name “waiting, then choosing” as an abstract invented idea, not a real experience disclosure. 2–4: Model eight count boxes with one long pause. 4–10: A/B/C choreographs via safe opt-in movement, notation or direction. 10–12 evidence/next: The motif should change time/space/shape to communicate a choice; note what was made versus performed. If all eight counts are identical, ask which one becomes a pivot. Home: silent count score.
Arts Day 12 · Two-path dance revision · Dance · AC9ADA10C01
0–2: Fictional station queue only; no travel data. 2–4: Model four-count approach/yield/return and one contrasted direction in the next four. 4–10: A/B/C choreographs and revises a specific choice. 10–12 evidence/next: Ask where the changed direction/level or pause alters meaning; distinguish a planned score from enacted rehearsal. If a learner copies an existing dance, invite an original abstract path. Home: paper pathway notation.
Arts Day 13 · The wrong parcel · Drama · AC9ADR10C01
0–2: Roles and addressless parcel are fiction. 2–4: Model goal, obstacle, pause and unanswered question as dramatic structure. 4–10: A/B/C devises a 25-second scene in safe enactment, script or tabletop direction. 10–12 evidence/next: Each role needs a goal that creates tension without an accusation; a question ending sustains the action. If scene becomes a claim about an actual person, return to invented roles. Home: six-line fictional script.
Arts Day 14 · The second message · Drama · AC9ADR10D02
0–2: A new fictional note says “Please ask before opening.” 2–4: Compare one old and one revised beat. 4–10: A/B/C reflects on its own Day13 drama or directed rehearsal and changes line/action. 10–12 evidence/next: A specific revision should show how the boundary changes intention, care or power; the teacher records whether the comparison came from actual performances or scripts. If revision is only “better”, ask which beat and why. Home: two-column old/new script note.
Arts Day 15 · Single-frame inference · Media Arts · AC9AMA10D01
0–2: Three original paper frames, no real news or person. 2–4: Show how a closed box first versus an empty table first can prompt different audience inferences. 4–10: A/B/C experiments with crop/order and a full caption or audio description. 10–12 evidence/next: Learner names a representation choice and one omitted context; do not claim an audience's actual response was measured. If captions rely on image alone, ask for a complete text description. Home: three-panel word storyboard.
Arts Day 16 · Community notice mini-comic · Media Arts · AC9AMA10C01
0–2: The notice and “everyone agreed” are fictional. 2–4: Model three functions: vague claim → evidence question → precise revised notice. 4–10: A/B/C creates or structures three original panels with captions. 10–12 evidence/next: The sequence should communicate why a representation changes, not merely repeat the same line; a text storyboard is design evidence, a made comic is produced-work evidence. If one frame silently blames a group, revise to source-focused language. Home: text-only storyboard.
Arts Day 17 · Four-beat city cue · Music · AC9AMU10C02
0–2: Fictional stage cue, not a real crossing signal. Low-volume original tone aid and text route are optional. 2–4: Model four beat boxes, one short/one longer tone, two rests. 4–10: A/B/C composes and notates an original cue or variation. 10–12 evidence/next: The score has four timed positions, sound/rest and one intended effect; performance is not needed for composition evidence. If the notation cannot be replayed by another person, add a duration/dynamic label. Home: silent beat score.
Arts Day 18 · Rehearsal-room response motif · Music · AC9AMU10C02
0–2: Use yesterday's own motif, not copyrighted music. 2–4: Model an answer phrase with one rest and a changed dynamic or contour. 4–10: A/B/C composes a second phrase and documents relationship to the first. 10–12 evidence/next: Two aligned four-beat rows and an explained change evidence composition; mark actual rehearsal separately. If phrase two duplicates the first, ask which beat will respond differently and why. Home: paper two-row score.
Arts Day 19 · Market-sign negative space · Visual Arts · AC9AVA10D01
0–2: Market/sign are fictional, not a wayfinding promise. 2–4: Model one circle, one thick/thin line and different empty spaces. 4–10: A/B/C experiments with two original compositions using scrap, raised shapes or directed placements. 10–12 evidence/next: Learner identifies one manipulated visual convention and intended attention shift; actual viewer response is untested. If both versions are identical, move one element and compare. Home: a no-purchase two-sketch or tactile layout.
Arts Day 20 · Park-path abstract print · Visual Arts · AC9AVA10C02
0–2: Imaginary path and abstract print, not an accessible real sign. 2–4: Model bend, two contrast marks, one intentionally empty region. 4–10: A/B/C creates a small original artwork or tactile composition, evaluates feedback and refines a visible choice. 10–12 evidence/next: Keep first and revised version; describe why the change serves expression. If only a proposal was made, record it as a plan rather than a completed artwork. Home: optional paper artwork with complete description.
