I recently work-shopped with the delightfully well-mannered students at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotch.vic.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scotch College<\/a> doing just that.<\/p>\n<p>For further practice , I encouraged the boys to pull faces in a mirror to copy. Exaggerated faces help us understand how the different parts of the face alter our expression. Cartoon faces often utilize the eyebrows in particular to express emotion. In children&#8217;s books facial expression is important. You don&#8217;t want stuffed mannequin-looking characters that are all facing front when trying to illustrate an expressive story &#8211; well I don&#8217;t anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Joining forces with over a dozen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fordstreetpublishing.com\/ford\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/50-demo-content\/books\/263-celia-and-nonna\" target=\"_blank\">Ford Street Publishing<\/a> authors for a special Ford Street festival we enjoyed a day of fun with staff and students. It was a whole day event. Together, myself and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/victorialanebooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Victoria Lane <\/a>(author of Celia and Nonna) worked with 3 groups of very enthusiastic boys. Victoria spoke to the students about herself as an author and journalist and did a small writing exercise. I stepped the students through a fast-paced practical exercise in drawing cartoon faces. There wasn&#8217;t a lot of time so I was particularly impressed with the results.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the class I asked the students, &#8220;Can you draw cartoons now?&#8221; With faces beaming, they all echoed a resounding &#8216;YES!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the teachers looking for the cheat sheets I mentioned they are <a href=\"http:\/\/kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/resources-freebies\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well done boys!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4797\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/fun-ways-to-make-faces-with-students\/author-visit-scotchcollege-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?fit=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Scotch College author visit fro Ford Street Publishing Event\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Scotch College author visit fro Ford Street Publishing Event&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?fit=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4797 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?resize=600%2C800\" alt=\"Scotch College author visit for Ford Street Publishing Event\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-1.jpg?resize=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4798\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4798\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/fun-ways-to-make-faces-with-students\/author-visit-scotchcollege-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/author-visit-ScotchCollege-2.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Scotch College author visit fro Ford Street Publishing Event.
