A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."

In animation, the opening of the show rolls.

As the sun comes up between the mountains, colourful letters with different mood facial expressions form the name of the show. It reads "How do you feel?"

Akin walks down the basement.

Akin is in his mid-teens, with slightly long braided brown hair and wears black trousers and a bright orange hooted sweatshirt.

He says HEY GANG. I'VE HAD WHAT YOU
MIGHT CALL 'A DAY'.
FIRST I DROPPED MY SANDWICH
AT LUNCH.
THEN I COULDN'T FIND MY
BASEBALL GLOVE.
THEN I STUBBED MY TOE.
HONESTLY, IT'S HARD TO EXPRESS
HOW I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU EVER HAVE TROUBLE
EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS?
THAT'S OK. IT'S TOUGH TO TELL
PEOPLE HOW WE FEEL.
SOMETIMES WHEN I'M HAVING
TROUBLE TURNING
MY FEELINGS INTO WORDS, I TURN
TO A DIFFERENT WAY
OF EXPRESSING MYSELF.
ART!

(music plays)

He starts drawing heavy rain on a piece of paper and says ART CAN BE AN AWESOME WAY TO
HELP US UNDERSTAND
AND SHARE OUR FEELINGS,
AND THERE'S NO WRONG WAY
OR RIGHT WAY TO DO IT.
I LIKE TO PUT PENCIL CRAYON TO
PAPER AND DRAW MY MOOD.
TO REPRESENT MY FEELINGS.
BUT DO WHATEVER WORKS
FOR YOU.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, IT
TURNS OUT THAT
I'M FEELING PRETTY FRUSTRATED.
MAYBE AN UMBRELLA CAN WEATHER
MY MOOD.

(music plays)
IF I DON'T FEEL LIKE DRAWING,
SOMETIMES I'LL MAKE A COLLAGE.
HERE I'M MAKING A COLLAGE
ABOUT MY FEELINGS.
THAT REPRESENT MY EMOTIONS.

He cuts out different shapes out of colourful paper and glue them to the sheet.

He says IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT TO TELL,
BUT THESE DIFFERENT SHAPES
REPRESENT ME AND HOW I'M
FEELING.
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST
FUN PARTS.
DISCOVERING HOW YOU FEEL
THROUGH ART.

He shows a drawing of a heart and says THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE
ART PROJECTS.
I DRAW A HEART THEN WRITE
DOWN OR DRAW
ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE
MY HEART FEEL FULL.
YOU CAN WRITE A WORD LIKE
'MOM', OR DRAW A PICTURE.
LIKE THIS PICTURE OF MY DEAR
OLD DOG PATTY.
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED YOU
CAN SHOW SOMEONE YOUR ART
AND EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT
IT MEANS.
OR YOU CAN JUST KEEP IT
FOR YOURSELF.
AND REMEMBER - THERE'S NO RIGHT
OR WRONG WAY TO DO ART
AND THERE'S NO GOOD OR BAD
WAY TO DO ART.
THERE'S JUST YOU!

Music plays as the end credits roll.
