EMOTIVE EMOJI
Read “All About Emojis” to learn how computer scientists make the tiny images used in texts and online posts. Many emojis are designed to express a certain emotion or mood. In this art activity, you’ll create your own emoji that communicates an emotion.
PART 1: Create a Self-Portrait Create a realistic self-portrait that visually communicates an emotion or a mood. Remember that color can help emphasize a mood. Be expressive by adding details and experimenting with different sizes and materials.
PART 2: Create an Emoji Create an emoji based on your self-portrait that expresses the same emotion or mood. Remember that an emoji should be simpler in design than a realistic image. Carefully consider which details are most important to communicate your emotion.
PART 3: Analyze Your Artistic Process 1. What emotion did you choose to explore? Why?
2. What was your working process as you developed your realistic self-portrait?
3. What was your working process as you developed your emoji?
4. What is the visual relationship between your self-portrait and your emoji?
5. What challenges did you face as you worked on these two forms of visual communication?
