Goal/codes: Explore broad soft forms and choose an art idea. AC9AVAFD01.
Prepare: form-source; approved setup or drawing/directing route.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
