Believe it or not, "Exquisite Corpse" is a drawing game invented by the Surrealist artists of the early 20th century. A piece of paper is folded over into three parts, and artists take turns creating a body, drawing one part at a time and folding their portion so it's hidden from the next person. Join us for this creative and hilarious expression of art class!
