Find a detail in the painting that seems to express the feeling. It could be a colour, a gesture, an object. Example: Feeling is powerlessness. A grey cloud in a landscape painting might be described as dissolving, losing its shape. ### Mood Triggers Describe exactly whatever triggered your mood (current, when you were in high school, when you woke this morning). What thing, person or situation? Write all of the details/colours/sounds and maybe you can trigger that mood in someone else. > [!user] Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge, *Poemcrazy: Freeing your life with words*
