Exquisite Corpse Overview: An
exquisite corpse is an art game where one person draws a part of an
image and another person draws the other part. (It can also be played
with words to write a story.) The way we played is the first person
draws the top half of a creature and the second person draws the bottom
half. The students can draw just about any kind of creature; animals,
people, monsters or aliens are all fine. This lesson was a filler
lesson, so only a few classes did this.

1- Fold your paper in half hamburger style.
2-
Draw 2 lines that cross the crease in the middle, when the lines are
drawn correctly you can see them on both the top half and the bottom
half of the paper even when it is folded in half. These lines are where
the sides of the torso will be, so the two halves of your body
line up nicely.
3-
Write the word “top” on the top of the paper and “bottom” on the bottom
or the paper. Write your name in the top corner of the page.
4-
Draw the top half of any creature on the top half of the page. KEEP
THE PAPER FOLDED IN HALF WHILE YOU DO THIS or at least a few students
will forget that they’re only drawing half of a creature. They should
include both arms, the top of the torso and the head. The body should
be drawn as if it is growing out from between the two lines.
5- Collect the papers and shuffle them.
6-
Pass the papers randomly around the room. Students cannot peek at the
top half. If a students gets their paper back give them a different
one.
7- Now we draw the bottom half! Including the bottom of the torso, and the legs. 8- Once the students are finished drawing, have them find the person who drew the top half and give it back to them, whoever drew the top gets to keep the paper.
