Colorful Five Min Fri

(the title sounded like a fun tai dish or something, lol!)

Gypsy Mama says:

It’s Friday.

Let’s do it. Let’s just write without worrying if it’s just right or not.

For only five short, bold, beautiful minutes. Won’t you join me?"

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Most importantly: leave a comment for the person who linked up before you – encouraging them in their writing!!

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on:

Color…

I can't help but think of painting and art therapy. I see the color on their hands and mine. Its cold with a pleasurable texture.

Blue is sadness, but a calming color.
Purple is healing. A calming, royal color.
Black is the traumatic event.

I see their painted faces in my mind. The flat affect in yellow.

I see bright reds and oranges. Bold, energetic colors depicting strong emotions like anger, rage, despair.

I see green in their flowers. Their trees blooming large green clouds. The calming color of growth.

The large butcher paper is on the floor or along the wall ready to display their outline. We mark the outlines, and the children paint the rest.

Sloppy paint is my color and tool.
