Emotion with Color – Art Therapy Coloring Pages
Help students, clients, or yourself connect emotions with color in a creative and thoughtful way. Emotion with Color is an art therapy-style activity designed to encourage emotional awareness, self-expression, and visual reflection through simple illustrations and color association.
 
This resource includes three printable pages that are flexible for classroom use, counseling sessions, or quiet personal reflection:
 
What’s Included: 
Page 1 – Emotion Faces to Color with Your Own Color Choices
A variety of expressive faces are shown without labels. Users decide what each face is feeling and assign a color to that emotion. This encourages personal interpretation and connection to feelings through color. Directions are provided to guide the activity thoughtfully.
Page 2 – Emotion Faces with Emotion Labels
The same expressive faces appear again, but this time each one is labeled with a suggested emotion like elated, sorrow, hopeful, brave, and more. Great for reference, discussion, or as a standalone coloring page for building emotional vocabulary.
Page 3 – Draw Your Own Emotions
Five blank faces allow users to draw their own expressions — based on how they feel now, how they don’t want to feel, or how they wish they felt, etc. Perfect for personalized reflection, journaling prompts, or follow-up conversations.
This activity gives students and individuals a gentle, visual way to explore emotions without needing words. Associating feelings with colors can unlock conversation, support mindfulness, and help people of all ages better understand themselves.
 
Use with crayons, colored pencils, markers, or digital coloring tools!
Whether you're an art teacher, school counselor, or simply looking for a creative emotional check-in tool, Emotion with Color is a thoughtful addition to your resources.
