• What colours do you see in Emily’s paintings?
• What shapes do you see in her paintings?
• Do you see triangles, squares, or circles in Emily’s artwork?
• What time of the day does this painting portray?
• What kind of images does Emily like to paint?
• Does Emily like to paint forests, trees, totems? What else?

In this colour mix activity, teacher should mix and use paints in front of class first, asking students, Is this a colour that Emily Carr would use?

• Ask the students to identify colours they see in Emily Carr’s paintings. Would Emily have used dark green, blue, purple, etc.
• Ask the students to use those colours in their own painting. Emily Carr painted things that were important to her.
• Ask the students to paint or draw something that is meaningful and important to them using the colours from Carr’s paintings.
