The Exquisite Corpse

A technique invented by the Surrealists, the exquisite corpse is a method by which a collection of words and images are collectively assembled. For our first in-class assignment we were divided into groups of three and portions of a person (head, torso, legs and feet) were drawn. Nobody in the group knows what the previous student has drawn. The point of this exercise, as you will see, is the surprise reveal at the end. I started the exercise and you can see the head, or heid as we say in Scotland above.

Next up for drawing was Ariel. Wow, check out that wrap, and svelte body! Spodgie is obviously a hardcore fashion victim!
Good grief! What's with the Hammertime/Farmer John shorts here? Let's see how Spodgie looks all together shall we?



Awww! Spodgie is obviously not from this planet although, I think I've seen Spodgie look-a-likes in Walmart from time to time. He's in need of some help when it comes to trying to 'fit in' and has no clue about fashion after all. Those giant big toes must be needed to counter balance his rather large noggin. Spodgie looks a bit dodgy!
