Day Four - The Exquisite Corpse

It sounds much creepier than it really is.  The Exquisite Corpse is a parlor game invented by Surrealists that dates back to the 1920's.  It originally started as a word game in which players would write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution.  It then transformed to a drawing game.  


Campers would take a piece of paper, draw the top half of a body, fold the paper back, and then pass it to someone else to draw the bottom half.  They were encouraged to make it as wild as possible.  Not just basic people, but cowboys, angels, birds, squids, robots, ballerinas, .....
......it got really fun!  

Once they finished their drawing, they got to color in and cut out their new "critters."

Happy to show their new collaboration.  :)

Some campers even took on the challenge of dividing the page into four - head, torso, legs, feet.  They are reviewing their results.  I think they did an awesome job!
