What educators are saying
Description
What does kindness look and feel like?
Writers use words to create and communicate moods and feelings; artists use lines and colors to convey these concepts.
This creative puzzle art activity promotes collaboration, creates a decorative wall mural, and introduces color symbolism and the use of lines, patterns, and images to communicate harmony, kindness, calm, peace, and/or friendship.
This art activity can be as simple as just creating a collaborative wall mural, or it can be a more complex lesson dealing with color theory and symbolism and the communication of mood and feeling through art.

I am a retired elementary classroom teacher, a former art teacher, an artist and a writer. I have a Multiple Subjects credential, a Single Subject credential for Art and English, LDS/ESL certification, a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Mathematics focus, and Montessori certification. I have worked with all elementary grades, and with special groups including ELL, GATE, and At-Risk students. Creating Art With Kids and Share2Learn lessons and resources are designed to foster student creativity, choice, and independence, and to encourage authentic art-making. Consideration is given to developmental appropriateness, differentiation possibilities, and teacher individuality. For this reason, directions are general, expectations are open-ended, and clip art on student pages is kept to a minimum.
