After examining the work of Yves Tanguy, Marcel Jean, and Salvador Dali, we played the exquisite corpse game. Then students drew surreal images of their hands using colored pencils.
The Exquisite Corpse Game
André Breton invented the game and played it with his famous surrealist artist friends. A sheet of paper is folded in four parts. Each artist draws and then folds it over, hiding everything except just a bit of the lines that have gone over the fold. Then the next artist continues using those lines, so that a fluid fantasy is created. See the game as played by Dali, Miró, Tanguy, and their fellow artists.
