1. Mood Painting – Expressing Feelings with Colors 🎭

Objective: Teach students how colors can affect emotions.
Activity: Have them pick a feeling (happy, calm, excited, sad) and paint an abstract piece using colors that match that mood.
Example:

• Excited? Use bold reds, oranges, and bright yellows.
• Calm? Try blues, greens, and soft purples.
• Sad? Experiment with dark blues or grays.
  This helps them connect emotions with color choices.

2. Nature Color Hunt & Painting 🍂🌿

Activity: Take a short walk and ask students to find interesting colors—like bright flowers, green leaves, or golden sand. Then, mix paint to match what they found.
Example: If they see a beautiful sunset, they’ll try blending oranges, pinks, and purples to recreate it.

3. Opposites Attract – Complementary Color Painting 🎨🔵🟠

Objective: Explore how complementary colors (opposites) make paintings pop.
