Express An Emotion Art Activity
Hello wonderful people!
Understanding and making space for emotions can make a huge change in your life! If you can understand an emotion on a deeper lever, you become more self-aware and you are able to cope better during challenging times. Let's discover ourselves through merging art and emotions!
Supplies:
*oil pastels (colored pencils or markers will also work)
*paper/art journal
How To:
1. Pick an emotion you wish to draw. I picked anger.
2. Using colors, shapes, or lines draw how you envision the emotion. As you can see, I used red, and made lots of jagged lines. Anger to me is a very sharp emotion. I also added other colors like black to symbolize grief, blue for sadness, and grey for the grey area, all of which are connected to the anger I experience.
3. After your drawing is complete as yourself:
*How does feeling this emotion help me? How does it hurt me?
*Do my emotions change over the course of a day?
*Why did I pick this emotion
Tip: If it helps you can write down the answers to these questions on the back of your drawing. I like to do this as I often look back at my art journal and reflect on my personal growth!
Stay Weird & Wonderful,
