Welcome to Colors of Kindness!

Begin by welcoming the students and introducing the idea that colors can show how we feel. Share with them that today's art project will help us explore different kinds of kindness through our favorite colors.

What Do Colors Tell Us?

Explain that different colors can make us feel different emotions. Ask students to think of a color that makes them feel especially happy or calm.

Colors Express Emotions

Present simple images or examples of artwork using specific colors to express emotions. Mention that these examples are inspirations for their upcoming mural.

We Create Together

Guide students on how they can work together in groups to create part of a larger picture. Emphasize how every single piece contributes to a bigger, beautiful story of kindness.

Reflect and Share

Wrap up the session by reinforcing the connection between colors, emotions, and kind actions. Encourage discussion on what they learned and share thoughts on the creative process.
