The Surrealists are credited with the invention of The Exquisite Corpse based on an old parlor game called Consequences. These pieces are cousins to the Surrealist “automatic drawing” which was meant to be direct expression of the artist’s unconscious on paper. Each player begins a drawing on the top of a sheet of paper, folds it over to conceal the drawing and passes it to the next person for their contribution. The folded papers moves around the room until they have all been completed at which time the papers are unfolded and the subconscious-driven masterpieces are revealed. Each participant will take home an original piece of art. (Limit 12 – Art Studio, Registration Required)
