• Explaining the assignment and brush activity (5 minutes)
• Students will select an object of their choice along with a feeling of their choice from the lists/ pictures provided. They can also choose their own object or feeling. They will then think about how they will express that particular emotion in that object (5 minutes)
• Once that is done, they can start drawing that object to express their feeling and accentuate the expression further by adding colour using water colours. They will use A4 Canson paper. (35 minutes)
