Omg! It's a Zoo Out There

To start things I'm going to share a self portrait drawn with the focus of the expression 'surprise'! We studied the muscles responsible for the expressions we chose and explained which muscles were responsible.

 

During the last day of spring break I managed a trip to the zoo and I have pictures! (I am not afraid to admit I am still a seven year old on the inside) 

You may have the same expression as I did. This is possibly the creepiest picture I've ever taken. But don't hate the rays, they were really cool and swam up to the glass to check everyone out. See the tiny one on top? He's the baby, the first one to be born at our zoo!

 DRAMATIC SNAKE IS DRAMATIC.

Red pandas. So cute!

It's good to be at the top of the food chain.

If Robots had Muscles...

As a helpful exercise in remembering the main muscles of the face, I drew them as circuitry for a robotic face! :D It was hard- but I pulled through in getting down the names of each muscle and the direction of the fibers for the test.

Oh, and apologies for the unexpected hiatus. It's hard work, anatomy. =)
