Unlock the power of emotional self-expression with Robert Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions—an insightful psychological model that maps out eight primary emotions and their intensity. In this Expressive Art Kit you will discover how we can express our emotions with colour, shape and form. 
 
From joy and trust to fear and anger, each emotion is paired with its opposite, creating a full spectrum of feelings that we experience in our daily lives.
 
Plutchik’s model also reveals how emotions can blend to form complex feelings, such as the combination of joy and trust creating love.
 
In this course, we use this powerful colour wheel as a guide to visually express emotions through art. By associating specific colours with different feelings—like red for anger or blue for sadness—you’ll learn to channel your emotions directly into your artwork with intention and mindfulness.
 
This project goes beyond just creating art; it’s a therapeutic journey of emotional awareness and self-expression. As you work, you’ll gain deeper insight into your feelings and learn to process and release them, all while building emotional resilience.
 
The act of creating mindful art based on your emotions not only helps you connect with your inner self but also offers a calming and healing outlet, allowing you to embrace your emotions fully and with compassion. It’s an empowering way to foster mindfulness and emotional balance, all through the beauty of art.
