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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
