Originally a game invented by Surrealist artists in Paris in the 1920s, “Exquisite Corpse” is a collaborative activity designed to stimulate creativity. In this 2-day workshop, examine the history and concept behind the Exquisite Corpse, subjectivity and color theory. Participants will create collages and paintings in a collaborative environment, developing design and color relationship skills, collectively assembling words and images.
Participants are encouraged to bring images (drawings, photographs, magazine materials, etc.) to be used in the collaborative projects.
Age & Ability: 13-18 years, all levels, beginners welcome!
This workshop takes place Mon & Tue, June 12 & 13 from 10am–1pm.
