Teacher setup: clean scrap and pencil or usual approved tools; one source/own work. Choose one route. Optional 25-minute planning start:3 encounter,4 model,4 try,10 own work,4 review; split/extend freely. Fresh days use first-response time before models, not a speed score.
Use an own actual small artwork, or begin one now. Ordinary models are examples, not required compositions.
Child: “Keep your first version. Try one change you can explain.” Model W13's focal placement and W04's overlap. Keep earlier choices visible through two small versions, an actual before/after description or a willing adult's literal note. No photo or device is required. Exit: actual revision and a purpose-linked reason.
- 27A · Position trial. Move or redraw a chosen focal element in a second version. Teacher asks what relationship changed. Notice intentional placement; if change merely cleans a smudge, choose whether that serves the meaning or trial a composition change too.
- 27B · Texture trial. Change the density of one mark region, keeping other features stable. Teacher asks what becomes more or less prominent. Notice a genuine trial and decision. Next compare two smaller patches if a whole picture is overwhelming.
- 27C · Maker-directed revision. Direct a willing adult or usual access tool to change one exact element. Teacher asks the learner to select the result. Notice learner's artistic decision and adult execution separately. If the adult guessed the placement, return control through a precise offered choice without inventing agreement.
Capture only useful evidence: actual learner choice, actual child/adult/tool action, first versus supported later response, and the next useful teaching move. No thirty-route log, photograph or public audience is needed.
