1: Ask the group or groups to imagine forceful emotions that can be hard to express or name (if you find this difficult imagine a situation instead, things like the first time you rode a bike or the moment before your favourite programme starts)

2: Choose paint colours and patterns that match those feelings

3: Stipple, dab, smear or sprinkle the paints on your paper

4: Blow, finger trace, brush or smear the paint in ways that feel connected to those emotions.

5: Cut shapes out of the pictures to make more art and explore feelings further, what shapes can those feelings take?

6: Make a note for yourself or others of what your painting.
