What Will You Learn Today?
At the end of the lesson you will be able to show and explain your feelings about life events using sound and art.
Feelings in Art and Music
We can show feelings in stories, pictures, poems, music, and more. Artists and musicians use colours, sounds, and words to share emotions.
Step 1: Explore Stories and Art
Listen to a legend, look at a poem, or study a painting. Think: What feelings do you notice? Try to spot emotions in words and colours.

Activity: Notice the Feeling
Pick a photo, story, or poem. Discuss: What feelings do you see or hear? Say what clues told you: colour, words, sounds, or lines.
Step 2: Make a Sound Story
Choose a moment from your life. Use instruments, claps, or body percussion. Show the feeling with your sound. Start: "This sound shows how I felt when…"
Sound Ideas
Fast or loud = excitement or anger. Slow or quiet = sadness or calm. Try making your own sound pattern.
Step 3: Make a Visual Story
Draw or paint your special moment. Use colours, shapes, and lines to show feelings. Start: "I used __ colour to show __ feeling."
Colourful Feelings
Red shows excitement or anger. Blue shows calm or sadness. Wavy lines for movement, straight lines for calm.

Play your sound story while sharing your artwork. Explain: "This sound shows... this colour shows..."
