Activity Purpose/ Summary:
The purpose of the meeting was to do a practical activity that would help the children to express their emotions in a mindful and fun way through art.

Personnel Input:
The session was kickstarted by introducing the kids to different colours that represent different emotions. The were then provided with a piece of blank papers and each kid was given the chance to choose a colour pencil that represented the emotion they were experiencing in that moment. With guidance they drew patterns on the paper that required patience and full concentration. Right after completing the pattern drawing they then flipped the paper and wrote why they were feeling the emotion they chose.

Achievements:
The children got to familiarize themselves with art therapy and how they can express their emotions through art and I also got to understand the mind space that they were in so as to offer any further psychological support if any.

Unanticipated Achievements:
Away from serious talks, the children got to enjoy the fun parts of therapy by having fun with colours.
