Welcome students! Introduce today’s art activity: we’ll express kindness through colors. Point out the soft pink gradient background (#FFCDD2→#F48FB1). Explain that we’ll learn how colors can show feelings and then paint our own ‘kindness paintings’.

Ask: “What is kindness? Where have you seen it today?” Record student responses on chart paper. Emphasize that noticing small acts builds empathy.

Hand out the [Kindness Reflection Worksheet](#kindness-reflection-worksheet). Give students a minute to write one act of kindness they witnessed or performed. Invite a few volunteers to share.

Show a sample painting (projected or printed). Demonstrate simple brush strokes and explain how color choices communicate feelings.

Transition students to their art stations. Remind them to refer to their reflection when choosing what to paint.

Arrange finished paintings around the room. Guide students in a quiet gallery walk. Then invite each to share one thing they admire in a peer’s work.

Praise students for their empathy and creativity. Encourage them to look for kindness in and out of class every day.
