What is Expression?

We watched lots of videos of people expressing themselves. We saw a painter, a dancer, a singer, and a sand artist. As we were watching, we thought……

Iris – The dancer “loves someone.”Isabel – “He misses someone.”Misato – The painter is “making a sunflower and there is happy music so he’s happy.”Joong Gun – “The man has a gun so he might shoot the swan and it makes the eagle cry” (sand artist)Owen – The sand artist is “really sad; the music is sad and he is making sad pictures.”Frida – The singer is “singing a so beautiful song the lady is crying. She loves it.”
