Learn More About The Mouth and Tongue Drawing
You can convey a lot just by drawing a mouth.
Experts report that much of human communication in nonverbal. This means that in addition to words, we frequently "talk" with our hands and our faces, in the form of gestures and facial expressions.
Some such communication is almost universal across cultures; others have different meanings in different places.
What might be a friendly greeting in one culture could be an insult in another. Consider one example.
Have you ever stuck out your tongue at someone? Most children have. In many cultures, this is considered a childish gesture or a mild insult - rudeness, sass, or disrespect.
In some places, however, sticking out the tongue conveys a very demeaning message. In fact, in Italy in 2009, an individual was tried and fined for sticking his tongue out at a neighbor during an argument.
Interestingly though, in the region of Tibet, this facial expression is used as a greeting.
