today the sky is pink

I adapt this from here.
Please take note that I have simplify the text below from the original source.
Description
Students will create images of the sky that convey their moods and feelings.

Attitudes:
Students will learn that in art, colors do not have to be literal.

Questions:

1. When you look up at the sky, what do you see?
2. Does the sky change the way it looks at different times of the day? At different times of the year? From different places? How?
3. What kinds of colors do you see? What kind of shapes? Textures?
4. What kinds of moods can the sky convey?

Procedure:
1. Discuss feelings as moods and emotions. Look at some artwork that contains images of the sky. Discuss how the artists were feeling a certain way and when they made artwork, their emotions came out (if an artist is sad, their painting may make you feel sad). One way an artist can express mood is through color.

2. Discuss the Sky. Where they are when they look up into the sky (the park, the playground, the rooftop). Discuss with the students what shapes and colors they see.

3. Explain assignment: That students will paint a sky of their choice that will express a mood or feeling...

Summary:
If time allows, students will share their skies with the class. The students can also share what mood they portrayed in the work.

This is my sky today

Teacher, can you feel the mood and emotion in my sky?
