Goal/codes: Communicate an invented/abstract idea with own marks; optional real self-feeling stays voluntary. AC9AVAFD01 / AC9AVAFC01 / AC9AVAFP01 conditional.
Prepare: Own art; one blank sheet; familiar approved tools; no emotion face/colour key.
- Invite · 3 min. “Your picture might be funny, quiet, stormy, or something with no name. What would you like?” Never assign emotion from appearance.
- Notice/model · 4 min. Adult models a conditional invented thought: “I could draw a far-away mark and call it a sleepy moon.” This is an idea, not a real child feeling or celebration.
- Choose · 5 min. Child privately chooses invented/abstract meaning, no explanation, or freely offered ordinary self-feeling. Do not solicit distress or private history.
- Make/direct · 7 min. Make/direct one refinement or new piece with own space/turn/line. Keeping the original is a valid choice; no colour/meaning rule.
- Review/evidence · 4 min. Optional willing viewer asks what child wishes to share. Record actual willingness/words only if it occurs; different interpretations welcome. No audience is required.
- Care/finish · 2 min. Private keep is complete. Any actual concern uses current local policy, not public art interpretation or secrecy promise.
If stuck / next move: Reduce to one offered choice plus “your own”; accept a pause/no response. Preserve first decision and current method, then plan one accessible next making opportunity. Do not turn access assistance into evidence of direct handling.
