      Today you draw faces that show feelings. Happy, sad, angry, and more!

   2. 0:07

      Every face starts with a map. Draw a circle. Then a line across the middle.

   3. 0:13

      Here's the trick. The eyes go on that line, halfway down. Not up at the top!

   4. 0:20

      Under the eyes, a little nose. Under the nose, a mouth. And an ear on each side.

   5. 0:27

      Keep it simple. Dots for eyes, a curve for the mouth. Meet Bo!

   6. 0:33

      Simple shapes are easy to change. And when they change, the feeling changes.

   7. 0:40

      Your turn. Draw a circle and a line across the middle. Put the eyes on the line, then add a nose and a mouth. Then press Next.

   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Here's the big secret. Eyebrows and mouths do most of the work!

   2. 0:06

      Watch. Same eyes, same face. I only change the mouth. A smile is happy. A frown is sad.

   3. 0:15

      Now the eyebrows. Tip them down in the middle, and Bo looks angry.

   4. 0:21

      Lift them up in the middle, and Bo looks sad or worried.

   5. 0:26

      Raise them up high and open the mouth in a big round O. Surprised!

   6. 0:32

      Two lines and a curve. That's all it takes to change a whole feeling.

   7. 0:38

      Your turn. Draw four faces. Happy, sad, angry, and surprised. Change only the eyebrows and the mouth. Then press Next.

   Your turn: Pick one face you drew and draw it again, bigger: a wider mouth, stronger eyebrows, and one extra mark.

   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Your faces work. Now push them further!

   2. 0:04

      Cartoonists make feelings bigger than real life. That's called exaggerating.

   3. 0:10

      Happy? Make the smile wider. Turn the eyes into happy curves. Add round pink cheeks.

   4. 0:18

      Angry? Pull the eyebrows down hard. Show the teeth. Add a puff of steam!

   5. 0:25

      Scared? Make the eyes big and the pupils tiny. A wobbly mouth, and a drop of sweat.

   6. 0:32

      Small feeling, big feeling. Which one can you read from across the room? The big one!

   7. 0:40

      Your turn. Pick one face you drew. Draw it again, but bigger. Wider mouth, stronger eyebrows, and one extra mark. Then press Next.

   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Now make an expression sheet. One character, six feelings, on one page!

   2. 0:06

      Fold a page into six boxes. Under each box, write a feeling. Happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised, and proud.

   3. 0:17

      Draw the same character in every box. Same head, same ears, same hair. Only the face changes.

   4. 0:25

      Proud is a new one. Chin up, eyes closed, and a small happy smile.

   5. 0:32

      Then test it. Cover the words, and ask someone to guess each feeling.

   6. 0:37

      If they guess it, it works! Now your character is ready for a comic or a film.

   7. 0:44

      Your turn. Draw your six feelings, then test them on someone. You made an expression sheet!
