Original practice · Optional exercise · Originality through constraints
Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.
- Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A still life has too many competing objects.
- Arrange three ordinary objects and compare two compositions.
- Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
- Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
