what's happening youing Julie oh we're

watching animason the artist yeah Miss

Mason has been teaching us how to make

beautiful

pictures today we're going to draw

faces the first thing you have to do is

to draw the shape of an oval sort of

like an

egg now take your time as you're filling

in your oval shape

kind of like that now I'm going to show

you a little secret in order to decide

where we're going to put our mouth and

our eyes and our noses we're going to

draw these lines in very

lightly we're going to start by drawing

one line down the middle this way and

another one going across like that now

we know that eyes and noses and mouths

come in different shapes and sizes so

we're going to put the shape shape and

size of eyes that we want right

here like

this now the nose is kind of in the

shape of a tie kind of long down

here like that and a little bit wide

down

here now we're going to place our line

where our mouth would

be oh about there so now let's get back

to that little secret we talked about

what we're going to do is take our

eraser and just take out those lines we

put in

earlier just about like

that get the chin

to draw a face now let's see what you

the same thing there just isn't any one

color that's right for painting all of

us is everybody ready for my brilliant

idea oh you sure yeah I thought instead

of us all using the same color paint we

might try using these different color

chalks everyone can pick the color they

feel is right for their own skin Oh and

then they give that color to their

partner then the partner uses that color

to draw the picture wow good idea Jody
