New Types of Exquisite Corpses

 

More haiku exquisite corpses by Mary Jean, Roy and me, this time in horizontal format.

At our last art play date, Roy, Mary Jean and I tried two new takes on the traditional exquisite corpse idea that we’ve been having so much fun with. In addition to the haiku we wrote alongside the sketches, we tried a horizontal format this time. That enabled more versatility in subject matter rather than the traditional figure (above).

A second variation in the game was prompted by the set of Legion Stonehenge paper sample pads that I still had from a review I had written for the Well-Appointed Desk. I was going to give them away at the recent Gab & Grab, but then I had the idea that we might be able to have fun with them. The sample format is the same as artist trading cards – 2 ½ by 3 ½ inches. What if we made exquisite corpses in separate parts that could be mixed and matched afterwards? We each made a figure with the head, torso, and legs on separate cards. Then we mixed all the cards together and reassembled. A fun and funny twist on the “artist trading cards” concept!
