RESOURCE STRUCTURE

These 3 mini practice sheets extract core exercises from the full Emotion & Feeling workshop. Each page isolates one emotional technique through guided silhouette, line, and color grids.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✓ 3 practice grids — silhouettes (4 figures + mood words), line weight (3 curve versions + atmosphere notes), color palette (6 swatches + mood figure + palette analysis)

✓ Empty grids ready for student marks

✓ Excerpted from full Emotion & Feeling workshop

WHY THIS WORKS

Mood-based practice teaches suggestion over over-explanation, engaging students through restraint and atmosphere. Silhouettes build mystery. Line variation develops sensitivity to weight and pressure. Palette extraction cultivates emotional color use, referencing artists like Klimt.
