Portraits of Emotions
"Portraits of Emotions" is a visual teaching material designed to facilitate the understanding and communication of emotions in children and adults. Here is a detailed description:
Product Description:
The "Portraits of Emotions" set consists of 70 detailed illustrations, each depicting a wide range of human emotions through facial expressions of characters of all ages. These colorful and realistic images show different moods such as happiness, sadness, anger, crying, and others, making tangible the sometimes abstract concepts of emotions.
Each set contains 7 cards, each focusing on a specific emotion, for a total of 10 different sets. The cards measure 9x9 cm, a convenient size for both individual and group use.
Educational Objectives:
1. Emotional Recognition: Illustrations help participants identify and recognize various moods by linking a visual image to the corresponding emotion. This reinforces emotional understanding and the ability to name one's own emotions and those of others.
Empathy and Social Reflection: By discussing depicted emotions and sharing personal experiences, participants develop empathy. They learn how certain moods can influence behavior and hone the ability to perceive others' emotions.
Communication Skills: The activity encourages effective communication as participants use emotional language to describe and discuss images, thereby improving their language and interpersonal skills.
How to Use the Material:
- Group Discussion: Show one card at a time and invite participants to describe the emotion depicted, sharing personal experiences related to that specific emotion.
- Association Game: Shuffle the cards and ask participants to find all the cards for each set of emotions, identifying similarities in facial expressions.
- Storytelling Activity: Use the pictures as prompts for storytelling, encouraging participants to create a story that explains why the character might feel that way.
Adaptability:
The material can be adapted for a variety of age groups and settings, such as schools, counseling centers, or home settings, and can be modified to meet the specific needs of individuals or groups.
