Color-and-Mood Research Notebook
Each student keeps an investigation record showing how color, story details, and emotions connect across illustrated texts, art examples, and personal observations. The notebook includes question notes, color tests, evidence, reflections, and a short explanation of one selected artwork for the portfolio.
Collaborative Color-and-Mood Mural and Investigation Report
Teams create a shared mural and brief report that explain their method, evidence, findings, and limitations about how color communicates mood. The final product must use each member’s evidence and address any mixed or surprising results from the investigation.
