Painting Our Emotions
Independent Schools Volunteer Spring Intensive
Nursery School–Kindergarten

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