This is a fairly simple and fun approach to exploring feelings through art. I wrote this task for Y6 to do during summer school, to encourage them to think about and talk about how they were feeling about changing schools.
Students start with a template or a face, draw in the emotion they are feeling and then have fun adding crazy hair with a straw and ink/paint.
We also discuss colour theory and how colours can represent different moods and feelings, looking at how artists have used colour in their work.
