Many Moods, One Community

(K-5th | 3 x 40 min)

In this lesson, artists explore emotions, identity, and community. They begin with concentric circles, using a Mood Meter to choose colors that represent a variety of emotions. Next, they explore identity through melanin mixing and create faces with a range of skin tones and features. When displayed collectively, the artworks come together as a colorful community display, celebrating our many moods and identities. This project is perfect for groups and individuals.

This project was inspired by a teacher who combined aspects of these Studio Sprout lessons:

Concentric Circles

Melanin Mixing

How to Draw Cartoon Emotion Faces
