Pulling Faces

Task

  • Most cartoonists and animators are great at creating characters that show particular emotions. 
  • As inspiration and to see what they look like, they pull an exxagerated face showing that emotion in the mirror.
  • Using PhotoBooth or a digital camera, create a series of at least 6 images of either yourself, a friend, or a celebrity.
    • All of your poses, must be of the same individual. 
    • The poses should depict a variety of emotions.
  • Using the same photo-editing technique as you did for your cartoon character of yourself, create comic or cartoon versions of at least 6b emotions.
  • Use the handout as a guide.
  • Create a new page in your Webnode portfolio to post your work. For each picture, be sure to show the original photo, the cartoon version of the pulled face, and state the implied emotion you were shooting for.
  • Consider using a table to lay your work out (Suggestion: 7 rows, 3 columns)
