Art and English
Scope of Learning
Our Topic
Oral Language, Drawing, Painting and Visual literacy.
In this Learning Element students will learn how to invoke feeling
in the viewer through use of colour. They will develop a language
for discussing their work, that of their peers and other Artists.
Drawing, painting, and class discussions about Art.
Learning Level
Kindergarten and Year One, Ages; 5 to 7.
Prior Knowledge
Students have learnt some colour theory; warm and cool colours and
mixing new colours. They have explored the use of line in drawing.
Students have discussed different kinds of feelings and how books
and movies impact on feelings.

Our Class
Kindergarten and Year One
What We Already Know
We know about warm and cool colours, and that we can make new
colours by mixing two or more colours together. We have done
some drawing and used different kinds of lines. We have talked
about different kinds of feelings and how books and movies can
make us feel.

Throughout this Learning Element teachers are encouraged to use an
observation grid or matrix to record evidence of oral language
development based on teacher observation during discussions.
Heading 1. Exploring faces
Heading 1. What do we know about faces?
Using a Think-Pair-Share strategy within a Circle-time structure, students
look at others’ faces and feel their own before sharing what they know
about facial features. Where possible use students’ knowledge to build
the vocabulary of the class group (e.g. nostril, iris).
What are the parts of a face?
Think about then share what you know about faces.
Heading 2. Drawing a face
Heading 2. Drawing faces
Resources: Cartridge paper and drawing pencils.
Making
The teacher leads students through a constructed face drawing. Direct
students to observe and feel the features and contribute to an
understanding of proportion. Model and encourage the use of the
language of Mathematics (above, below, half, twice etc).
Sue Gorman
The Green Stripe: Exploring Feelings
through Visual Arts
Look at other students faces and feel your own to help you work out how
to draw a face. Share what you know with the class.
Make a drawing of a face which shows the main parts in the right place.

Heading 3. Sharing drawings
Heading 3. Sharing circle
Sharing
Use a Sharing Circle structure for students to share their work.
Begin with a Think-Pair-Share and invite students to comment on three
things they like about their partner’s work.
Model how this sounds:
I like the way you used the pencil to show…
You made the eyes look very real.
Invite each student to share their work with the group and comment on
one thing they like about their work.
Share your drawing with a partner then with the class.
Heading 4. Mood and Colour
Heading 4. Feelings and colour
Resources: Coloured paper, scissors, glue, and art or copy paper.
How are you feeling today?
Use the Circle-time structure to guide the discussion. Model the sentence
starter:
My name is ……and I’m feeling … …
Make a class list of some of the feelings we have.
Use your faces to show some of these feelings to a partner.
Compile a list of feelings from the circle and invite students to extend the

list. Where possible use students’ knowledge to build the vocabulary of
the class group.
What colours match some of these feelings?
Use coloured paper to show which colours make you feel
happy and sad. What other feelings can you show?
Partner students then ask them to express facially (with gesture if
appropriate) some of the feelings from the list.
Ask students to think about which colours might match some of the
feelings from the list and share with their partner.
Students work individually to create a paper montage that expresses the
colours that reflect different moods or feelings. Begin with feelings that
have maximum contrast such as happy and sad before examining more
subtle feelings.
Heading 5. Theorising about colour
Heading 5. Sharing work
Resources: Students’ montages.
Small collection of art reproductions (Matisse, Munch, Kirchner for
example) which use either predominantly bright or dull colour schemes.
Share your pictures on the display board and look for things that are the
same. Share with a partner.
What does this tell us about how colours and feelings are linked? Make a

class. Make a list of their descriptive language, and extend to include
terminology such as warm, cool, bright, pale, dull etc. It may be

necessary to explicitly teach these terms.
Feels like
Happy
Looks like
Use a T-chart to generalize cause and effect. For example:
Feels like
Happy
Looks like
Bright colours
Check if this idea works when you look at paintings by other artists.
Use words from the class list to talk about the paintings.
Repeat for Sad montages and any subsequent ‘feelings’ montages.
EITHER
Organise students in groups of four (with at least one reader in each
group) to test this theory by looking at artworks by artists such as
Kirchner, Munch, Matisse. Students discuss the colour and mood and
come to a consensus which they report to the whole group.
Use the T-chart and select from the list of students’ descriptive language
to model ways to describe works of art.
OR
Continuing with the same groups use the Silent Card Shuffle strategy for
students to check their theory. Use a set of art images (postcards from the
National Gallery of Australia work well for this activity), a set of cards
each with one of the feelings words students generated previously and
another set of card with words that describe colours (bright, bold, dull,
pale, etc). The challenge is to match an image to a feeling and to a colour
descriptor.
At this age level some talking will be necessary as not all students will be
able to read the words. For more explanation of this activity refer to the
Innovative Teachers’ Companion2007 p88.
Silent Card Shuffle. Your teacher will explain this activity.
Use a Circle-time checkout to review student learning.

Heading 6. The Green Stripe
Heading 6. The Green Stripe
Resources: Reproduction of The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse.
Look at The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse. Share your thoughts with a
partner. Listen to what others think.
Review the T-charts and vocabulary list if necessary, before beginning
this activity.
Display the reproduction of The Green Stripe by Henri Matisse. Allow
time for quiet reflection. Use the Think-Pair-Share strategy for students
to share their observations. Remind students to use the vocabulary list to
help them describe what they see. Share some responses with the whole
class and reinforce appropriate use of language.
What questions do you have about this painting?
Look at the green stripe.
What do you see on each side of the stripe?
How does each side make you feel?
Answer any questions students may have regarding this artwork.
Direct students to look at the green stripe (if they haven’t already done so)
and use prompting questions to lead a paired discussion.
Use the T-chart model from above to record and compare responses for
the two sides of the picture.

Heading 7. Analysing interests
Heading 7. What about Mrs Matisse?
Organise students in groups of four with at least one reader in each group.
Use the T-chart to initiate a discussion of why Matisse would choose to
paint his wife in this manner using prompting questions.
Why would Matisse paint his wife like this?
What would Mrs Matisse think of the portrait?
And all the little Matisses?
Would you like a picture of your mother to look like this? Why/why not?

Negotiate a simple assessment rubric with the class that includes use of
colour, evokes feeling.
Students complete their portrait by selecting colours to illustrate a
particular mood.
Complete your portrait by using colour to show feelings.
Using a Sharing Circle students display their finished work and comment
on its strengths and what they have learnt. Invite other students to share
their observations and ideas.
Check how you went on the Rubric.
Share your work with the class and talk about what you learnt or did in
your painting.
Complete the Rubric.
Heading 9. A picture book analysis
Heading 9. A picture book
Take students to the Library and provide them with an assortment of
picture books to select from. In pairs, students examine a book and
evaluate mood and use of colour in close-ups.
With a partner, find a picture in a picture book and, talk about how the
illustrator has used colour. Share your picture with the class.
Students report to the class a selection from the book and their evaluation
of an image within it.
