Week #1 Dance

For week number one, I am going to learn about how emotions can be displayed through dance.Emotions are not just an idea in your head. The way you feel can also affect your body language and posture, for example, if your happy you'll probably feel 'loose' and jumpy, if your sad, you'll drag your feet, and have a droopy body and if your scared you'll tremble, or rap your arms around yourself.These body languages can be used in dance to display emotions. Alongside the right facial expressions, and music.

Here are some dance moves that I've learned to express fear, joy and sadnesss.

Dance moves that can help express fear include: not traveling or taking up to much space, scared facial expressions, trembling, and looking around anxiously while dancing.
Dance moves that help express happiness include: upbeat music, smiles, light and gradual movements and a lifted chest.
 Lastly, dance moves that can help express sadness include; slower, sad music, gloomy facial expressions, heavy and slow movement, dancing on the floor and a collapsed chest.



Another very good way to Truly express your emotions in dance, is to go to a place free of distractions and turn on music that speaks to you. Or just listen to what's inside you, switch off  your thoughts, close your eyes and just start to move. Don't worry about what your doing, just dance and let your emotions pour out.

So, to challenge myself and practice, I participated in the Drawing "expressions challenge" and conducted an experiment to see if listening to music helped me express my emotions on paper better. In the past couple days, I definitely improved my drawing skills! Here's how, This photo is the "drawing expressions challenge" that I participated in. The rules are simple, All you have to do is choose an emotion to draw and attempt to draw it in your own style. I chose four emotions, including, A3, B2, C3 and D1.     This was my attempt at the drawing expressions challenge... This challenge really helped me improve draw emotions. It challenged me and helped me explore new and better ways to draw emotions. I also conducted a little experiment to see if listen

Although our emotions are exactly visual and don't have colours, we can still associate certain colours with certain feelings. In my next blog post for week #5 I will talk about colours and how they can help us express emotions. Also how we can interpret these colours in a painting. Stay tuned!
