Think for a moment about how much a person is able to convey with just a facial expression. A smile can indicate approval or happiness, while a frown can signal disapproval or unhappiness. In some cases, our facial expressions may reveal our true feelings about a particular situation. While you may say that you are feeling fine, the look on your face may tell people otherwise.
Emotions Expressed Through Facial Expressions
Just a few examples of emotions that can be expressed via facial expressions include:
- Happiness
- Sadness
- Anger
- Surprise
- Disgust
- Fear
- Confusion
- Excitement
- Desire
- Contempt
Universal Facial Expressions
Facial expressions are also among the most universal forms of body language. The expressions used to convey fear, anger, sadness, and happiness are similar throughout the world. Researcher Paul Ekman has found support for the universality of a variety of facial expressions tied to particular emotions including joy, anger, fear, surprise, and sadness.
Emotions, Facial expressions and body language's are clear and effective ways for human beings to express how they feel about one another, or how they feel about certain situations. for example a human being whom feels bored in a situation, would look too relaxed, most likely with an emotionless face, whereas someone who feels happy, would be moving a lot, and smiling a lot.
The Animation we created from the demo, as you can clearly see, from the smile and shape of the eyes, represents a cheeky type of emotion, feeling rather positive and happy about it, and as for the position of the hands, shows a well known cheeky emotion. if peole did not show these representations and emotions with body language, we would not be able to tell most of the time how they felt without asking them.
Confusion
Love
Mystery
Sorrow
These are several emotional expressions on faces, happiness, sadness, and angry, confusion, love, mystery and sorrow. happiness often entails a relaxed expression in the facial muscles, with eyebrows appearing relaxed but often appearing either pointing upwards slightly, or just above horizontal. whereas sadness, either has a horizontal smile, or a smile pointing downwards, with eyebrows looking too relaxed. Anger normally appears with eyebrows pointing more in a downwards position or horizontal, with the eyes appearing stressed with a small frown on the face. Confusion has a mixed appearance to the face, often with the eyes pointing up, with a sort of puzzled expression to the face, meanwhile love often entails bright smiles, a positive glare, with variations in colour if your talking of the terms of a cartoon. Mystery is rather hard to explain, but tries to give two sides to everything as an expression, while sorrow often has a slump, with a sad face, with tears and a introverted appearance to the body.
Happiness for body language normally has raised arms, and an active positive apearance to the body.
Whereas sadness often has a slumped, loose appearance to the body.
And anger would have raised fists, or a stiff appearance to the body, with a firm stance to represent anger.
I then attempted to draw 4 more drawings based around the language of the body, the top left was meant to be a representation of sorrow, of someone sitting down curled up, feeling sorrowful, whereas the top right is meant be love but turned into a mixture for joy/love, the bottom right was meant to be a body of someone appearing mysterious, whereas the bottom right was meant to be of someone feeling confused, and showing confusion. Body language can be expressed with different appearances and postures, and once you know most of the postures for certain feelings, you can start to read body language with great ease.
we then tried to do a little bit of personification, and I created a happy puppy, or a puppy with a happy expression on his face.
