- What colors do you associate with [Emotion] ?
- What might someone be doing if they feel [Emotion] ?
- Think of a time you felt [Emotion] recently, can you draw/paint how that was?
- How might you be able to tell someone is feeling [Emotion] ?

Discuss
Ask your child about their artwork, what emotions they were expressing and why? Write down their words if they want to share them.
Scan or Snap a Picture
Use good light: Place the artwork in a well-lit area (daylight near a window works best).
Avoid shadows: Take the photo directly above the artwork.
Fill the frame: Make sure the artwork is centered and clear.
