Did you know that colors can affect your emotions and mood? Many famous artists use colour to imbue their art with a certain emotion. Pablo Picasso even went through stages where he focused on just one colour, such as his Blue Period!
Self-portraits are often very expressive. Artists use line, composition, and colour to create an overall mood or feeling. Luckily, you don't have to be a famous artist to play with colour or paint a self-portrait! Encourage your child to explore colour and its mood-altering effects by creating his own self-portrait using only warm or cool colors.
