Three engines of making
- The CED names three engines: practice 练习 (repeat), experimentation 实验 (test), revision 修改 (modify) (CED 2.A).
- Practice repeats a skill until reliable — the tenth ellipse, the fiftieth hand.
- Experimentation tests without needing success: new tool, scale, surface, speed.
创作的三个引擎
- CED点名三个引擎：练习(practice)（重复）、实验(experimentation)（测试）、修改(revision)（调整）（CED 2.A）。
- 练习重复一项技能直到可靠——第十个椭圆、第五十只手。
- 实验测试而不要求成功：新工具、新尺幅、新表面、新速度。
Returning to a finished work and changing it on purpose is . · 返回已完成的作品并有意对其进行修改是。
Revision = deliberate change to existing work. · 修改 = 对现有作品进行有意的改变。
You should throw away every failed experiment. · 你应该扔掉每一个失败的实验。
Keep and annotate them — they are strong evidence. · 保留并标注它们——它们是强有力的证据。
Revision reimagines
- Revision returns to a work and changes it on purpose: crop, rework, redraw, or answer with a new version.
- Show all three visibly — scorers must see them, not take your word.
- A revision pair 修改前后对比 (first / revised, with one sentence) is classic evidence.
修改是重想
- 修改是有意回到作品并改变它：裁切、重画局部、重画，或用新版本回应。
- 让三者都清晰可见——评卷人必须看见，不会只听你说。
- 一组修改前后对比(revision pair)（初版/改版，加一句）是经典证据。
Practice, experimentation, or revision? · 练习、实验还是修改？
Sort each studio activity into its engine. · 将每个工作室活动归入其对应的引擎。
Select all · 所有 examples of experimentation. · 选择所有实验的例子。
Repeating a mastered skill is practice. · 重复已掌握的技能即为练习。
Keep the failures
- Keep the failures — an annotated failed experiment is stronger evidence than an unexplained success.
- Each failed test tells the scorer you took a real risk.
- Practice, experimentation, revision are processes, not results — document them.
留下失败
- 留下失败——一个写了批注的失败实验，比没有解释的成功更有说服力。
- 每个失败的测试都在告诉评卷人你冒了真正的风险。
- 练习、实验、修改是过程，不是结果——把它们记录下来。
A first-state and revised-state pair, with a note, is a revision . · 初稿与修改稿的组合，附有一条注释，就是一组修改。
A revision pair is classic evidence. · 一个修改组合是经典的证据。
Match the engine to what it builds. · 将引擎与其构建的内容匹配。
Three engines, three gains. · 三个引擎，三项收益。
Throwing away every "bad" drawing erases your best evidence of experimentation and revision. Keep and annotate the failures — a portfolio of only successes looks lucky, not investigated.
扔掉每一张"差"画，就抹掉了你实验和修改的最好证据。留下并批注失败——一个只有成功的作品集看起来是运气，不是探究。
A revision pair: version 1, a flat frontal portrait; version 2, the same face relit from below with the background darkened. One sentence — "relit to make the calm face feel uneasy" — and the pair proves revision and intent.
一组修改前后对比：版本1，平淡的正面肖像；版本2，同一张脸从下方重新打光、背景压暗。一句话——"重新打光让平静的脸显得不安"——这一对就证明了修改和意图。
Practice (repeat), experimentation (test), and revision (change on purpose) are the engines of making — show all three, keep the failures, and use revision pairs as direct evidence.
练习（重复）、实验（测试）、修改（有意改变）是创作的引擎——三者都展示，留下失败，用修改前后对比作为直接证据。
