We all feel lots of different emotions! We can use many colors to show that in our painting of ourselves! The next slides will give you steps.

Paint your ears and neck in that same color.

Choose a color for your mouth. Paint a smile in that color.

Choose a color for your eyes. Paint two dots of that color for eyes.

Choose a color for your hair. Paint your hair in that color.

Choose a color for the background. Paint designs in that color! Sign your name!

Choose a color for your shirt. Paint your shirt that color.
