# One box. Three ideas.

[Playable example](https://deckcoderai.com/g/painter-matisse/) · Gallery example: `painter-matisse`

Cut-paper silhouettes. A round hole makes the rocket window. Snips of red make theatre curtains, and one green paper curve holds a sleeping cat. Advance through the three children’s answers, then invite the audience to imagine a fourth.

Original gallery study inspired by Henri Matisse. [Style reference · MoMA · Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs](https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1429).

## Presenter script

1. **One box. Three ideas.** Three children each get a cardboard box.

   Presenter: Imagine I handed you a cardboard box. What would you make? Hold on to your idea while we hear theirs.

2. **A rocket to Saturn** “I cut a window so I can wave to Mum.”

   Presenter: This child is going all the way to Saturn. What mattered enough to cut a window for?

3. **A sock-puppet theatre** “One’s a dragon. I do both voices.”

   Presenter: The second child heard a story in that box. What do you think the dragon says when the curtain opens?

4. **A bed for Pickle** “I put my softest scarf in for Pickle.”

   Presenter: The third child noticed a sleepy cat. Which little detail tells you what this child cared about?

5. **What would your box become?** Each child brought an idea of their own.

   Presenter: One child wanted to explore, one wanted to tell a story, and one wanted Pickle to be cosy. What would your idea tell us about you?

## Prompt for your agent

Create one editable DeckCoderAI slide about what makes each child unique. Use https://deckcoderai.com/g/painter-matisse/ as the reference (Gallery example: painter-matisse). Give three children the same cardboard box. One makes a rocket to Saturn, one puts on a sock-puppet show and one makes a bed for Pickle the cat. Use Henri Matisse-inspired gouache-paper cut-outs. Build the rocket from a hole and a triangle, the stage from red curtain shapes, and the curled cat from orange and green silhouettes. Show the shared starting point, then let each child speak in turn. Close with “What would your box become?” Keep the slide text editable. If I supply another topic, use three first-person examples from that topic in the same sequence. Use my wording and keep the artist-inspired treatment.
