Sunshine College - exquisite corpse game





exquisite corpse game
The students at Sunshine College, had a go at the exquisite corpse game. This game was invented by the surrealist Artsists. One person draws the head, then they cover their picture by folding it and pass it on to someone else. That person has to draw the torso, then they cover it by folding and pass it on to the last person who draws the legs. The result is a funny picture and the work of three artists.

This was a warm-up to their canvas painting. In each of these exquisite corpse pictures, I asked the students to put something about them in the picture. If you look carefully you will find that the characters show things about the students who drew them.
