Exquisite
Corpse is a simple exercise invented by the surrealists in the early
1900's. An artist would begin to draw a figure by first drawing a head
on paper. The paper would then be folded to hide the drawing. The paper
would be passed on to the next artist, and so on.
This kind of exercise expands the artists
thinking and helps generate new ideas and and encourages creativity.
Students in H-F's Electronic Art class and Amherst High School's Computer Art class made their own version of this exercise by creating
different parts with certain restrictions: one section had to reference
something mechanical, one section had to reference something organic,
something had to be scanned, and something had to be hand-drawn. |
