A practical exercise: Arrange three ordinary objects and compare two compositions.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Originality through constraints

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A still life has too many competing objects.
  2. Arrange three ordinary objects and compare two compositions.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
