Painting Our Emotions
Independent Schools Volunteer Spring Intensive
Nursery School–Kindergarten
Select Examples, Acrylic

In this acrylic painting class for ages 3–6, children explored emotions through color, movement, and creative expression. We talked about feelings such as happiness, sadness, excitement, and calm, noticing how they move through our bodies. Using paint, brushes, and playful mark-making, children learned to translate those feelings into art. The focus was on creative exploration and helping young children express a full range of emotions in a joyful, supportive space.
