Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video on Drawing Emotions by Will Terry

04/02/2014

Hi everyone! My author and I came across a wonderful video on teaching kids to draw emotions. Isn't that so cool?
It is so important to share your feelings. And, I know that it is sometimes hard to say how you are feeling. Sometimes it is easier to draw what you are feeling. But, do you know how to draw the different emotions?
Will Terry makes the video very exciting! Yes, I am turning purple already. (Purple is the color I turn when I am feeling excited! He has a spider named Tex that is purple. But, Will says that Tex is happy. So, maybe purple is Tex's happy color. LOL!) Will makes it easy to follow his instructions too!

I know I liked the video! I hope you do too! And, Will has more drawing videos if you like this one! I am hoping that I will be able to chat with Will about his drawing and videos some time. If I do, I will share it with you.

Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video Promoting Art Therapy

Hello everyone. When I have different feelings, I change different colors. But, most boys and girls don't change colors with their feelings. And, they may not know how to express their feelings.
That is one reason that my book is so important. My book is a way to help teach young boys and girls to name and share their feelings. You can start all kinds of nice talks about feelings with my book? You can talk about how your face looks when you feel a certain feeling. Or, you can ask what makes each other what makes you feel certain feelings.
Sometimes, children have a hard time sharing their feelings. They might be too scared to tell someone. Or, they might not know what they feel or how to say it.
Some people use art therapy to help share their feelings. That is when you use drawing, painting, molding clay, or something like that to help share your feelings. Here is a video to help explain it. It is probably better for the adults out there to watch the video, because it can be hard for kids to understand. But…kids can watch it too. There is nothing bad in it or anything like that.
Taylor Freeman is not only an art therapist. She is also an author, like Jodi Desautels. Very cool!

Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video By Barbara Lester about Teaching Children with Autism to Express Feelings

Hello everyone. Today, my author has a treat for you. Jodi Desautels found a video with Barbara Lester on teaching children with autism how to express their feelings. Isn't that exciting? I am turning all purple as we speak. Yes, that means I am feeling excited.
You know that I like to talk about sharing feelings. I think my books, "Clarinda Cloud" and "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" would be great to use in helping children with autism and all young children express their feelings.
Barbara Lester is a clinical social worker who works with children with autism. One of the things she says that will help is to draw pictures of different emotions. That is exactly what some of the activities in "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" involves. Yay! She also says that it would be good to show the children pictures of faces that show different emotions. Wow! That is what is in my book, "Clarinda Cloud." I have different feelings and my author/illustrator (Jodi Desautels) drew me with different faces.
