The Art of Expression

Today I have been making cartoonish drawings of Primary Emotions.

 A Neutral Face

 

 Sad and Happy Angry and Disgusted Surprised and Fearful

These I intend to  use next week for some online teaching, as I give a demo on mask-making to prop. making students.    I would like to get them active and not just give a     one sided lecture. I use these ideas when teaching mask performance skills so why not for makers.  I hope it will make it more personal for them as they  examine their own faces and feel what muscles they use to make these extreme expressions.
