      Hey, it's me, Mr. J, and welcome to today's drawing challenge. Do you have a couple minutes? Because today's challenge is draw a rabbit with a cool hare-do. So grab something to draw on and something to draw with. And let's do this.

      (Describer) A title: Drawing with Mr. J. He sits at a table with squares of paper and a pen.

      Okay, a rabbit with a cool hairdo. Let's start with the rabbit and we'll come back to that super cool hairdo in a minute. There's lots of ways to draw a rabbit but I like to start with some simple shapes. So how about a circle for the head?

      [soft music]

      And ears, ears are like big, long, tall bumps. So it goes up and down. Up and down. Now I'm gonna show you this trick for drawing the rabbit's body. So we start at the head and we go down and over and up and that kind of makes that back leg. And then for the front, I can draw a line down and another line down. And those are the two front legs. And look, here's a little leg poking out from the back and a little circle for the tail. I'm gonna add its eyeballs and nose and some whiskers. Now that cool hairdo. You could add bangs or braids or spiky hair. I know what I'm gonna do. Yeah, there's a cool hairdo.

      So let's check in. Have you ever had someone ask you for your opinion? They might ask you what you think about their shirt or their hairdo. They're asking for feedback. We give feedback with our words, but also with our faces. When you really like something, do your eyes get wide and your mouth turns up into a smile? How about when you aren't a big fan? Does your mouth form a frown or a nervous smile? What about your eyes and eyebrows? Do your eyebrows scrunch up and your eyes look away? Our faces can give lots of feedback whether we plan on it or not. Feedback can be hard, especially when we care. I remember a time when I was a teenager. I worked so hard on a drawing and shared it with my teacher. They barely looked at it, actually, they looked past it. All I wanted was feedback, for them to tell me it was great and that they love my drawing or to offer suggestions to make it better. And they gave me feedback without saying a word, that my work was not good enough. Feedback's important. It can help us express ourselves better, make us stronger singers, better soccer players and can make us stop and think about our decisions. But our faces and our words should be helpful. I've learned that my face is pretty expressive so when I'm giving someone else feedback I need to make sure that my face is as kind and as helpful as my words. I also know that even if I don't like something I have to be thoughtful with how I share that with the other person. I learned from another teacher of mine that I should share one thing I do like. Then, one way it could be stronger. This way the other person knows I appreciate their efforts and will be open to hearing my feedback. Use your drawing to talk with a parent or trusted adult when you wanna explore ways of giving and hearing feedback. You can even practice giving feedback to your rabbit. I can only imagine the creative hairstyle you gave your rabbit, but here's mine. My goodness rabbit, the way your hair looks today is great but it kind of covers your beautiful ears. Maybe a shorter hairstyle will help everyone appreciate your ears.
