This lesson explores emotions and how our faces change according to our moods and then shows how we can draw those moods and emotions by simple changes to cartoon faces. The lesson starts with some photo slides of different faces and the children interact and guess the emotion that each person is feeling. Children then watch a short demo of how to draw a face and add the features that don't move, and then the features that do. We then move on to draw along with me, adding features to our faces to add emotions to our characters. Children get the opportunity to share their favourite artwork with fellow classmates and talk about their picture. We discuss what we like and improvements that we could make then have another go. This lesson has a growth mindset approach. Children should be able to draw a simple face. I have taught this fun lesson to 5 year olds all the way up to 11 year olds and all abilities can get something out of it drawing at their level. I offer this class in two age ranges; 5-8 and 9-12.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to recognise emotions on a face and use them to draw their faces with emotions. Great for story illustration, cartoon strips, social stories and development of art skills.Other Details
Supply List
It might be useful for children to have a small mirror to use, so that they can look at their face as they make different expressions.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I’m a UK qualified teacher and have been teaching in state schools for 17 years. Here in the UK we teach holistically from ages 4 through to 11, so our training covers the whole breadth of subjects that a child might learn at school (which is great for a polymath like me). I spent my first 10 years teaching the whole curriculum to mainly second language children in London and the next 10 teaching in small Devon (UK) primaries and living as sustainably as I can whilst developing a small holding.
I guess that I have two sides to my teaching personality. Creatively, I love to teach Emotional Literacy through Art and I love developing plots, settings and characters in Creative Writing. Then I am also a puzzler and enjoy teaching & solving problems in Mathematics and Coding and Science.
In my own schooling I studied Geography, Electronics, Physics and Maths for A levels (US first degrees) then went on to get a Geography degree at University (US Masters). I’ve been a secret creative writer my whole life and have just fulfilled a grammar/ spelling ambition gaining a Diploma in Proofreading.
I've always been interested in the way the World works and what my place is in it. Whatever my lessons, I think that making sure the children know what they have achieved is an important part of their learning, both for their next steps and for their self-esteem.
A little note about time zones: If my schedule doesn't work for you in your time zone, please make a request as I am very open to alternatives. Outschool and private tuition are my only work so I have plenty of opportunity to mould my working hours to suit.
