Today’s Activity: Exquisite Corpse

Above is an example of Exquisite Corpse

 Exquisite corpse (Exquisite cadaver (from the French term cadavre exquis, is a collaborative drawing game invented by the Surrealists, where head, torso, and legs (top, middle, bottom) are created by three people, each drawing their part, without seeing what the others have drawn, on a section of folded paper.)

In groups of three, at your tables, you will have one sheet of paper, fold this exactly in three different ways so that the top bottom and middle are all the same size.

First person sketches and colors with sketch pencils and colored pencils. Then pass it to the person next to you. Do this until all three sections are filled out. You can do more than one per table.

After we finish with that, talk about how each part of the drawing reflects the artist who drew it.

Then take a picture of your group’s picture and post it to your visual journal.
