Drawing emotions with color

 The day before class a picture "the scream" sold at auction. I shared this picture with the students in the 2nd and 3rd grade for discussion. They were not very impressed with the picture as a favorite type of artwork.
Next they were to do a drawing of a person expressing emotion using the drawing and color.One pair of students did opposite emotions.   It took a bit of discussion but they got the concept and did a great job on these. When we tried it last year early in the 2nd grade it was not such a success as it seemed the concept was too abstract for them.
