| 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. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
Continue until all the sections are complete, then unfold the paper and see what you created! |
