Teach Students About Emotions

See art project ideas using markers & water, texture rubbing, and oil pastel techniques to create these beautiful fish with feelings. 

The book Happy by Miles Van Hout makes a great introduction to this lesson.    

I've found that Crayola Washable Markers work best for this because they bleed more than the other brands I tested.

I'm using woodless colored pencils for the texture rubbing.

You can also make your own texture rubbing plates.  

You can see how in this blog post.

Here are the Googly Eyes I used.  They are so much fun!

I used Crayola Oil Pastels for this example.
