Lesson Plan

Artful Emotions Lesson Plan

Students will learn to express emotions visually through color, shape, and texture by creating artwork that conveys a chosen feeling; students will describe and reflect on their creative choices.

Developing emotional literacy helps students recognize and communicate feelings, build empathy, and foster self-expression; art provides a safe, engaging way to explore and share emotions.
