Eureka! Weekly Wonder 2

On this page you will find something new each week to make you wonder - - hence the name "Weekly Wonder." Creative thinkers are interested in many things and a series of these are planned to help you expand appreciation of the arts beyond what you might typically expect. For a little while, you will have to enjoy just this one and perhaps wonder weekly when we will reveal another. See another wonder!
Weekly Wonder #416
Create an Exquisite Corpse In the Early 1900's a group of artists (including Salvador Dali and his contemporaries) would draw parts of a figure or object on a folded piece of paper so that each artist could not see what the other had drawn. The artists would base their drawings on small "clues" left by the previous artists at the folds. The "clues" that were slightly visible at the folds would become the starting points for the next artist to begin drawing their part of the exquisite corpse.

You can create a body with each artist drawing a different body part, or specify a theme in advance like, "we are going to create something that likes to live in water" or, just pass the paper around to a different artist and see what develops.	Head by Teresa Kiplinger.
Fold paper into sections. If four artists are participating, fold the paper into four sections. If twenty artists are participating you had better find a very large piece of paper.	Chest by Franz Spohn.
Each artist should take turns drawing in a section of the folded paper. Look only at the marks left near the folds by the previous artist.	Legs by Gina Spohn.
Continue until all the sections are complete, then unfold the paper and see what you created!	Feet by Joe Murray.

Franz and friends printed the whole corpse in it's exquisiteness on shirts and on-line at the Center for Advanced Study in Telecommunications (CAST) International Learning With Technology Conference 1997. Check out the scrapbook to catch a glimpse!.
