including circles, 

squares, rectangles 

(you might like to 

find objects around 

the house to help 

you), cut them out 

and stick the 

Today, draw a

shapes onto a piece 

of paper.  

Then split your 

page by drawing 10 

vertical lines, 

Choose two of your 

favourite colours, 

and colour it in. See

Close your eyes and 

listen to the music 

in the links above. 

How does the music 

make you feel? 

What shapes and 

colours do you 

picture when you 

listen? Respond to 

the music by 

representing the 

sounds on your 

piece of paper with 

a pencil. Now colour 

in the shapes that 

you stuck on, and 

the shapes that you 

drew when listening 

to the music. Use a 

variety of colours. 

Your artwork will 

be in the style of 

Kandinsky.   

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Look at the way 

that the patterns 

are arranged on the 

page. Think about 

how the patterns 

were formed.  

 

Go out into the 

garden, go for a 

walk to a park or 

the woods if you 

can, and collect a 

variety of natural 

materials such as 

stones, leaves, 

twigs etc. Use your 

gathered materials 

to create your own 

arrangement.  

 

Challenge: can you 

make your 

arrangement tell a 

story? 

 

Think about what 

the word ‘emotion’ 

means. What 

emotions can you 

think of? E.g. 

excited, sad, angry. 

 

Now think about 

colours. Do certain 

colours make you 

feel a certain way?  

How does blue make 

you feel? How 

about red?  

 

Watch the story of 

the Colour Monster 

here: 

https://youtu.be/Ih0iu80u04Y In this story, yellow 

refers to 

happiness, red is 

for anger and blue 

is linked to sadness. 

Do you agree with 

those colour 

choices? Why? 

 

Can you think of a 

time that you have 

felt these 

emotions?  

 

Choose a different 

emotion, such as 

disgust, envy or 

frustration. Can you 

create a picture to 

demonstrate what 

that emotion might 

look like? 

 

Or perhaps you 

could write a poem 

about emotions and 

the colours that 

they represent?
