Journal #8: Where's that copy of Emoticons Illustrated?

• Angry (RED): Two of the pictures I chose were of people arguing: the two girls and then the silhouettes. Most of the time people who argue like that are pretty angry at each other. The upper-left picture of the woman screaming also reminds me of anger because of the expression on her face, more specifically, how her brows are down and nose is scrunched. I associate the sneering man with anger because...well, when you sneer you usally have some sort of negative, upset feeling towards something. The pouting child looks like a kid who hasn't gotten her way and is about to throw a temper tantrum.
• Scared (GREY): The man in the upper-right corner has a stunned, frightened expression on his face, which said "scared" to me. The little girl to his immediate right definitely looks like she is afraid of whatever she is looking at. The girl with her hair flying has a freaked-out expression on her face, with her eyes bugged out and everything. The brunette woman next to her has more of a subtle, calm expression of fright. It is more timid and nervously scared than the other pictures. The old man below her looks scared, but slightly confused as well.
• Sad (BLUE): The crying woman and baby both represent sadness because, well, they are crying and look miserable so those are definitely not tears of joy. The woman on the bed and little blonde boy are both covering their face, and their body language reads emotional defeat, so they looked pretty sad to me. Lastly, the little girl with her face in the crook of her elbow seems sort of sad and disappointed.
• Uninspired (GREEN): Whenever I am "uninspired" usually I am pretty bored as well, so I associate lack of inspiration with boredom. The man reclining with his hands on his neck seems like he's bored at the office, just waiting for time to pass until he can go home. The man with the chopsticks in his mouth is obviously bored to the point that he's goofing off in hopes to try and entertain himself. The boy leaning against the wall also looks like he has nothing to do, and by the frown on his face seems to really wish there was something to do. The two girls with their head in their hands look like they are bored to death; the one on the left with a little bit of an attitude, and the one on the right like she's about to fall asleep.
• Joyous (YELLOW): The little boy underneath the angry silhouettes is shouting to the sky with a huge smile on his face, which is usually an action people carry out when they are extremely happy. I associate the group of friends jumping on the beach with joy because the fact that they are all together and jumping means they're probably having a great time. The boy on the right of them looks elated, like he's just been told he can have the biggest ice cream cone in the world or something. The athletic girl has just won a championship which is something extremely great to celebrate, so of course she would be filled with joy. The little girl below her has her hands clasped and eyes shut tight with a huge grin on her face, and just looked really happy to me.
