In this dynamic and interactive class, middle school students will explore the fascinating connections between emotions, colors, and art. Through a blend of creative projects, discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to express their inner worlds and emotions using a vibrant artistic palette.
 
What to Expect:
Exploring Emotions Through Color: Students will dive into the psychology of color and its power to convey feelings—from the calming hues of blues and greens to the energizing bursts of reds and yellows.
 
Artistic Techniques & Creative Expression: Through diverse mediums like painting, and mixed media, students will experiment with various techniques that allow them to translate mood and emotion into expressive artwork. 
 
Group Color Matching Games: Board games like Hues and Cues (A fun game of color guessing clues). Mix the perfect tint or hue to make the perfect color match.  
 
Interactive Workshops & Collaborative Projects: In a supportive, open classroom environment, students will participate in group projects and peer critiques that encourage dialogue, resilience, and creativity.
 
Mindfulness & Self-Reflection: Each session integrates mindfulness practices and reflective exercises, empowering students to better understand their emotions and develop healthy, creative outlets for self-expression.
 
By the end of the course, students will have built a personal portfolio of creative works that not only showcase their evolving artistic skills but also serve as a meaningful expression of their inner emotions.
 
This class is designed to encourage self-discovery, resilience, and the joy of expressing oneself artistically in a supportive community.
