# Ten small art sessions

Each session is **25 minutes**: 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 2. Read short child prompts aloud; physical setup is adult-owned. Support may pause or continue in another short component. The goal is art decisions and truthful evidence, not speed. Use [materials](MATERIALS.md), [routes/home](LEARNER-CARDS.md) and [held checks](STUDENT-CHECKS.md).

## Week 21 · Day 101 · A form you can change

**Goal/codes:** Explore broad soft forms and choose an art idea. AC9AVAFD01.

**Prepare:** form-source; approved setup or drawing/directing route.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Invite a choice: “Want a little hill, a funny form, or a shape only you name?” A private abstract idea is enough. Offer touch, adult direction or drawing without assigning routes.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Read Three possible little forms as an actual original computer-created drawing, not a sculpture. Show its broad mound, flat oval and curved ridge one at a time. If available, adult gently reshapes separate approved scrap and names it as today’s actual demonstration.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses one broad starting form and an idea. Ask “What would you like to change?” The diagram is a suggestion, not a template to copy exactly. Agree a comfortable amount and stop signal.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Child presses/reshapes one portion, directs an adult or creates an original form drawing/plan. Keep forms low and broad; stop at discomfort or material difficulty. Adult records actual action/support and does not presume a successful material result.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Ask “Which choice is yours? What does it make you think of?” Record a personal response and actual method. An actual drawing can represent an unmade sculpture; record both statuses.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Keep a dated description/drawing or approved actual form privately. Explain “Tomorrow we can try one small change.” Follow local cleaning/storage.

## Week 21 · Day 102 · One press, one discovery

**Goal/codes:** Use an actual small trial or an honestly untried question to develop an art choice. AC9AVAFD01.

**Prepare:** material-try; one portion only; adult actual product/setup check.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Recall one chosen form. “What little change would you like to try?” Try a broader/flatter area or a low curve, not an imposed model.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult contrasts “I think…” with “I tried… and this happened.” Read the blank trial card. Supplied shaded pictures contain no tested compound result.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child selects one comfortable action/portion and predicts a visible/tactile change. No-material route chooses an untried question and records NOT TRIED. Direct view/report status is agreed.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Carry out one small actual try if suitable. Record what this portion did: flattened, cracked, slipped, stayed as placed, or another precise event. If no event occurred, retain NOT TRIED. Do not infer durability, every compound or child ability from a setup problem.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Child keeps or changes one art choice and gives a reason connected to the actual event or the untried question. A failed trial can lead to a new intended drawing or a different low form.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Date actual maker/support, material and next question. Adult cleans/stores under local rules; no scientific fair-test or strength claim.

## Week 21 · Day 103 · Two forms that belong to your idea

**Goal/codes:** Compose two separate broad forms to communicate a child-owned idea. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01.

**Prepare:** form-choices; scene-plan; original first form if available.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Ask “Does your first form want a neighbour, or would you rather make a different one?” The child chooses an imagined world, funny pairing, resting view or abstract idea.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult shows two possible drawings: separate forms nearer together and further apart. Name space as an art decision; neither is the correct emotion or a universally shared symbol.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses a second broad form and a gap. Name actual mat/diagram near edge and page-left/page-right. Offer one decision at a time; leave height/shape exactness open.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Make/direct two low separate forms or create an original drawing. Move whole broad forms gently only if suitable; no joining or stacking. A dictated arrangement can remain PLAN ONLY. Record what is physically made versus represented.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Child points/describes one relationship: “This beside that”, with reference named, and one personal reason. A remembered home/place story is optional and never required.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Preserve the child’s chosen arrangement in a private dated record. Tomorrow they may change it; nothing needs to become a public model.

## Week 21 · Day 104 · Where do you want us to begin?

**Goal/codes:** Choose a focal form and explain a bounded source purpose. AC9AVAFE01 / AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01.

**Prepare:** form-source, child’s own work; viewpoint-card; actual source identity/purpose note.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Offer “Which part would you like me to notice first?” Child may keep their work private and direct an imaginary looking sequence instead.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Identify Three possible little forms: SubjectNest original computer-created 2D diagram, made on 30 September 2026 to help compare possible broad forms before shaping. Ask “What can this drawing help us try? What can’t it tell us?” It is not a human sculptor/community encounter or physical trial.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child selects a main form by space/size/position, or keeps equal attention. Meaning belongs to the child; adult does not prescribe colour or emotional interpretation.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Child revises their actual form arrangement/drawing or directs a new plan. A willing teacher may follow “look here, then here” from the agreed view; touching needs separate permission and local approval. Record actual viewer action only if it happened.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Child describes an experience/idea/feeling about the supplied diagram and own chosen beginning. A dislike or uncertainty is valid. Distinguish source maker purpose from child intention and actual viewer response.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Keep source/work ID and actual status in the record. Conceal fresh AC until tomorrow; clean/store normally.

## Week 21 · Day 105 · Fresh AC: A different little scene

**Goal/codes:** Transfer form/space choices to a held new source with honest making status. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01.

**Prepare:** check-ac-scene; STUDENT-CHECKS AC only now; teacher key concealed.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Introduce the fresh source as a new original computer drawing of an unmade proposal. “You can use one detail, then make your own idea.” No prior practice model for this arrangement.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Read source facts neutrally: a broad curved ridge across the far part; a smaller mound near the left. Agree near edge/viewpoint. Do not name a preferred change or art meaning.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Read the held prompts one at a time. Child first identifies one given feature and chooses their own different form/space decision. Accept pointing/sign/AAC/report with access status.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Child makes/directs/draws an original small outcome or gives an unmade plan. The first response is captured before hints, worked examples or correction. Approved setup/access help is recorded without supplying the art decision.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Ask for child meaning and truthful method/status. If insufficient evidence, record not secure or unavailable and arrange another short component; no timed finish or aesthetic score.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Only after capture offer a next-step practice choice. Follow cleaning/storage; checks supply partial evidence, not a term grade.

## Week 22 · Day 106 · A scene has a near edge

**Goal/codes:** Arrange art from one agreed viewpoint and choose an attention route. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01.

**Prepare:** scene-plan; two existing forms/drawing; adult-approved stable mat.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Recall the child’s art idea. “Where shall we sit to look at your little world?” Choose the near edge together; it is a tabletop viewing position, not a travel instruction.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult marks the near edge and names references: “mound page-left of oval, from this seat.” Read the illustrated plan as a top-view proposal, not all visible sides.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses near/far or beside with named forms. They may give one “notice this, then that” sequence or equal attention. No compulsory path, arrows or mathematical score.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Arrange actual low forms if suitable, revise drawing or direct a plan. Adult confirms each placement before moving it. Record exact support/status; the layout is not a real route, safety sign or HPE movement task.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Ask “From our agreed view, what is beside what? Where did you want me to begin?” Do not invent the viewer noticing it. Touch route is optional and separately approved.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Date chosen viewpoint and arrangement. Preserve private intent; no location/home map or device recording.

## Week 22 · Day 107 · A new view, a new notice

**Goal/codes:** Explore how viewpoint changes what a form drawing or actual artwork can show. AC9AVAFD01.

**Prepare:** viewpoint-card; broad actual art only if safe/available; no touching/turning without agreement.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Ask “Would you like another look, or keep this view?” No child has to move their body or touch the work.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult contrasts supplied top and oblique illustrative views of the practice mound/oval proposal. Top suggests footprint; oblique suggests height. These are invented views, not measured photographs or evidence of unseen sides.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses a safe actual second view, an adult report, or another own drawing plan. Agree references again if turning the mat. Keep which view/report is available explicit.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Observe an actual form from a second approved seated position or carefully agreed mat turn, or make/direct a different view drawing. Describe only what can actually be seen/felt/reported. No assumed hidden grooves, exact thickness or sphere claim.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Child notices one actual view difference, or identifies a diagram convention and an unknown if no physical view is available. Link to an own next art choice; uncertainty is acceptable.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Record source/view/maker/access status. If view unavailable, note VIEW NOT AVAILABLE; don’t turn a picture inference into actual visual evidence.

## Week 22 · Day 108 · Let someone notice — if you want

**Goal/codes:** Refine art intention with an optional willing response or private self-review. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01 / AC9AVAFP01 conditional.

**Prepare:** child’s own work; maker-note; consent and actual display check.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Offer “Keep it private, or ask a willing person what they notice?” Refusal is welcome; self-review keeps the same art-refinement goal.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult models a neutral question: “Which part do you notice first?” Do not cue an answer or ask the viewer to agree with a mood. Actual artwork status is named.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses a viewer only if they freely agree, or privately chooses one detail to review. Tell viewer whether touching is permitted; separate touch permission from looking agreement.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Optional actual sharing: viewer describes one notice; adult records exact words/action and date privately. Private route: child reviews their own intended beginning. Child keeps/changes one art decision; no viewer action is invented.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Compare “I wanted…” with “They actually said…” or “SELF-REVIEW; audience NOT OBSERVED.” A different interpretation need not mean the artwork failed.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Update maker-note with actual process and use status. Quiet display remains only an intention until child/adult agreement and actual placement.

## Week 22 · Day 109 · A small note that belongs with your art

**Goal/codes:** Make a truthful optional maker note and decide an actual use. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01 / AC9AVAFE01 conditional.

**Prepare:** maker-note; child’s dated available records only; source ID if encountered.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Ask “Would you like a little name or note for your art?” A private title, one chosen form description or no written note is valid.
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Adult separates actual work from proposal: “This is my drawing. It plans a sculpture I haven’t made.” Read sample categories, not a complete answer to fresh AD.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Child chooses own title/meaning, one actual or planned process and private/desk-display intention. If responding to supplied work, name its actual diagram maker/purpose, not a fictional sculptor.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Create an original note/drawing/dictation or exact oral/AAC note. Attach/place only with child agreement and safe adult setup. Record actual sculpture/drawing/plan, maker/support/date and audience status. No required photo or public caption.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Child rechecks one claim against an available record: actual press? actual drawing? unmade sculpture? actual willing viewer? Correcting a claim is useful learning; missing events remain unknown.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Keep chosen work/note privately or record an actually approved display. Conceal fresh AD; material longevity is not promised.

## Week 22 · Day 110 · Fresh AD: Two views, your decision

**Goal/codes:** Distinguish represented viewpoints and create an original form arrangement. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01 / AC9AVAFE01 bounded / AC9AVAFP01 conditional.

**Prepare:** check-ad-views; STUDENT-CHECKS AD only now; teacher key concealed.

1. **Invite a choice · 3 min.** Introduce two new invented views of the same unmade proposal. “These are drawings. You choose a view and your own next art idea.”
2. **Show one small idea · 4 min.** Read neutral labels: top-view oval footprint left and round footprint right; oblique-view low oval left and mound right. Same named near edge. Do not explain an own arrangement solution.
3. **Choose and rehearse · 5 min.** Offer held prompts one at a time: one shared feature, a view-specific suggestion or unknown, then an own form/space choice and meaning. Record access and source status.
4. **Make / direct / draw · 7 min.** Child makes/directs/draws a personally chosen small composition or unmade plan. Capture first response before practice hints/key. Actual compound demonstration is not compulsory or inferred from pictures.
5. **Notice and record · 4 min.** Ask “What is really made? Who shaped/drew it? Kept private, shared, or not yet shared?” Optional willing audience is separately recorded; no fictional audience or invisible material result.
6. **Keep / clean / next · 2 min.** Only after capture give appropriate next teaching. Clean/store. Add the sample to several dated works with conservative status; no year/term certification.
