Colours and Emotions Painting

Harrison, Keira and Aisha are planning a small mural for the library makerspace. They want to use colours and shapes to communicate feelings. Remember: colours can suggest emotions, but people may respond to the same colour in different ways. There are no wrong personal colour choices.

Read the makerspace notes

Harrison suggests a bright yellow sun to show hope after a difficult day. Keira chooses deep blue waves because they help her think of quiet moments. Aisha wants a red zigzag for the energy she feels before a big performance. They agree that their mural can hold many feelings at once. They also decide not to label any colour as meaning the same thing for everybody.

1.Which idea from the notes shows that one mural can communicate more than one feeling?
2.Match each maker's colour idea to the feeling or experience it suggests in the notes.
  • Harrison: bright yellow sun
  • Keira: deep blue waves
  • Aisha: red zigzag
  • Quiet moments
  • Energy before a performance
  • Hope after a difficult day
3.True or false? The notes say that every person feels the same way about each colour.
TrueFalse
4.A maker wants to suggest calm in a painting. Which choice is best supported by Keira's idea?
  • Deep blue waves
  • A red zigzag
  • A bright yellow sun
5.Complete the sentence: A colour can suggest a feeling, but it does not have to mean the same thing to .

Plan your own emotion painting

Choose a feeling you would like your artwork to communicate. You may use a colour convention from the notes or invent your own. You do not need to share a personal experience.

6.Name one feeling you could communicate in your painting, and give one colour you might choose.
7.Explain how one colour, line or shape could help communicate your chosen feeling.
Draw a quick plan. Add at least two colours, and use a line or shape to help show a feeling. You can label your choices.
8.Someone sees your painting and says a colour means something different to them. What is a respectful response?
9.Write one sentence you could use to explain your colour choice when sharing your artwork.
