Beautiful poetry, art, and music are such wonderful ways to express your ideas and feelings. For brilliant Swirls and Smiles, explore the amazing technology of Crayola® Color Switchers™ Markers.
1.
Read poetry or listen to music that describes emotions such as anger, love, fear, anticipation, frustration, sadness, or happiness. What words do poets use to convey their feelings? How do musical melodies, beats, and words evoke a mood?
2.
Find a poem or song that expresses your feelings. Or you could write your own poem or music describing an emotion that you have experienced. Challenge yourself to use new and interesting words and melodies.
3.
In the visual arts, each color seems to have its own unique personality. How do colors such as pink, red, black, white, blue, and yellow affect your moods? Could line, shape, form, and/or texture also be used to convey feelings?
4.
Apply the elements of the visual arts (color, line, shape, form, texture) to create a drawing that portrays the emotions in your poem or music. With Crayola Color Switcher Markers, create a background.
5.
Flip the Marker and apply the special color switcher to create vibrant patterns, swirls, symbols, and dots. How much of each color will best reflect the mood?
