Anatomy of a Smile

In our Anatomy class we paired up and drew portraits of our partner smiling (through ten minute turns) and while it was hard to do for ten minutes straight, I can share with you what we learned!

Here is an overlapped diagram of my partner's facial features as she's smiling. Notice how the cheeks push upward and make her lower eyelid rise. Believe it or not the upper lip does not go up much during a smile. Most of the features are moved out and up. 




And here is a diagram we drew of the facial muscles. Doesn't he look a little sad?
