Art_Color Shows Feeling

The girls are working in full color these days and exploring how color is used by artists and illustrators to show feelings.  Below are three books that show different ways color can be used to show how the feeling changes in the story. Ask your daughter which one changes the color on the background, which one outlines the characters, and which one is monochromatic? 

The girls are telling their own color/feeling change story in a four page book. We are using an advanced feeling chart to learn some new feelings. See below! Some ideas include being nervous coming to a new school, falling on the playground, getting exhausted walking to the ballgame, playing with cousins, fighting with siblings, and making new friends.
