# Teacher key, first capture and next making

**Keep from learners until first capture.** Fixed source facts/status are judged for accuracy; original art choice has no single correct arrangement, feeling, colour, number of marks or use. Check [exact source alternatives](../print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md), not a remembered practice page. Record actual access/neutral support; a report-based response can be accurate without pretending direct sight. These checks are partial evidence, not term grades or whole-code attainment. Later short components are allowed without timed finish.

## Check AE · Drift and room

**Fixed source:** actual original computer drawing `PRESS-CHECK-AE-23` by SubjectNest/NeuroForgeIO with Codex assistance, 30 September 2026. A larger tilted broad oval is at the lower left; a smaller horizontal oval is at the upper right; open space separates them. Digital outlined shapes represent unmade print proposals. Documented purpose: offer a new arrangement to choose from. A child may notice a truthful different given feature. Paint product, actual stamp footprint, pressure, dryness, transferred coverage, physical making order, real event/feeling and audience are not supplied.

**Possible response, not required:** “The broad mark leans at the lower left. I heard the exact description. This drawing can help me choose room around a mark. It can't say my paint will look that way. I will draw one mark near the lower edge for an invented sleeping boat.” The resulting drawing is actual art if made; its imagined print is UNMADE. Any such model remains after first capture only.

**Look for:** accurate given feature/access, bounded why-this-work purpose, distinct own decision/meaning, actual maker/method/status and honest NOT TRIED. Single mark/unnamed/private is valid. Oral-only development does not prove made artwork. Do not score access choice or require wet contact.

**Next teaching:** If proposal called actual paint, compare actual tool/impression/drawing/plan labels with a new practice example. If source copied, invite one own change/keep reason rather than forcing difference. If unknowns guessed, ask “What source would we need?” If no creation supported, arrange actual agreed drawing/director support later. Preserve first answer.

## Check AF · A curve across a mark

**Fixed source:** actual original computer graphic `PRESS-CHECK-AF-24`, same creator/date. One broad horizontal oval occupies the middle of the panel. A dark curved line travels from lower left, crosses the oval, and continues towards upper right. This is the given drawn relation; the line is visually drawn across the oval in this digital work. It does **not** establish any physical paint action order, opacity/mixing/result or a person's actual feeling. Purpose: offer a new mark/line relation for an art choice. Physical printing is unmade; audience absent.

**Possible response, not required:** “The curve crosses the oval in the description. It doesn't tell which actual paint was first. I want my line away from my mark to suggest a floating kite; I direct an adult to draw it.” If agreed adult drawing actually occurs, record CHILD-DIRECTED / ADULT-DRAWN, own decisions and adult physical making. A verbal-only proposal stays PLAN ONLY. If an actual approved printing event occurs, record real maker/action order and result independently.

**Look for:** exact given relation, digital-versus-physical boundary, useful bounded purpose response, own mark/line/space/meaning decision and truthful actual status. Keep/no line/unnamed/private all valid. NOT OBSERVED is correct if no actual willing audience; intention is not testimony.

**Next teaching:** If physical order inferred from graphic, offer a fresh drawn example and contrast with an actual dated observed event only if available. If real emotion inferred, ask “Whose meaning is known here?” Children control self-report; don't diagnose from art. If adults over-direct, repeat child instruction and wait before making. Keep precise first response/support.

## Programme judgement

D01 development can include an honest plan; C01 needs actual created work communicating child intent, with director/adult contribution recorded. E01 is a narrow actual supplied-work encounter/purpose opportunity; no human/community breadth invented. P01 requires actual child artwork and freely agreeing audience event. Use dated samples across forms/experiences; no checklist equates chosen route, aesthetic appearance or disclosure to achievement. Privacy remains complete participation.
