I created a mood-based color palette reflecting my daily emotions. Morning was peaceful, represented by light blue. School activities were energetic, symbolized by bright yellow. Afternoon brought focus, so I used deep orange. Evening relaxation was green, calming and refreshing. As night approached, purple represented serenity and reflection. This exercise helped me understand how colors evoke emotions and how they can be used effectively in artwork to convey different moods.
I chose cloth as my surface and used turmeric and beetroot extracts as natural dyes. The fabric absorbed colors gradually, requiring multiple layers.

I chose cloth as my surface and used turmeric and beetroot extracts as natural dyes. The fabric absorbed colors gradually, requiring multiple layers. I used the Kalamkari technique, drawing outlines with a fine brush before applying colors. This method required precision and patience, as the dye spread differently compared to paper. The final artwork had rich, earthy tones, highlighting the beauty of traditional fabric painting methods and natural color applications.
I experimented with watercolors by adding white to blue, creating soft sky-like tints. Adding black to red resulted in rich, deep shades. These variations enhanced my painting’s depth, making foreground elements brighter and background elements darker. This contrast created a sense of realism. By usRead more

First, I gathered bright flowers, green leaves and colored soil. I crushed flower petals to release color, boiled leaves to extract deep green and mixed soil with water for earthy tones. After filtering impurities, I added gum arabic as a binder to create long-lasting pigments. Experimenting with diRead more
First, I gathered bright flowers, green leaves and colored soil. I crushed flower petals to release color, boiled leaves to extract deep green and mixed soil with water for earthy tones. After filtering impurities, I added gum arabic as a binder to create long-lasting pigments. Experimenting with different combinations resulted in diverse shades. This hands-on experience deepened my understanding of natural pigments and their potential in artwork.

My visit to the museum revealed diverse artworks, including detailed paintings, stone sculptures and textile art. Artists used materials like oil paints, clay and metal, employing techniques such as etching, carving and color blending. Some artworks had intricate patterns, while others displayed abstract emotions. Observing these helped me understand how different materials create depth, texture and meaning, offering valuable inspiration for my own artistic experiments.
Observe different moods throughout your day and create a color palette representing these emotions.
