Development: 40 mins
– Split class into the same groups as the previous week (Happy, Sad, Afraid, Angry, Surprised, Disgusted.)
– Give each group a large sheet of card and the photographs/ drawings for each feeling.
– They should cut these images out carefully, isolating the body part that is expressing the emotion, for instance, there may be an entire body shot, an image of just eyebrows, an image of an arm and hand. Allow lots of discussion in this activity, as they will be talking about how to identify and
describe emotions with the body.
– When these have been cut out, the group should put them to the side and write the word for the feeling they have been working with in bubble letters on one sheet full of textures (See lesson Drawing Tools →
book1, p.37, alternatively ask them to draw different textures to match their motion.) These will feature lots of textures, allow the group to try to
find the textures that match the emotion they are working with best. They should outline the word they are working with and cut this out. (They can also do this in Irish.)
– When they have all of the components they should lay them out on the page and collage them into a layout they like.
– This will be a useful resource for the classroom.
