Exquisite Corpse is a assembly of words or images that is collectively assembled.
It was invented by the Surrealists- a group of artists that were a part of a cultural movement in the early 1920’s.
The Surrealists have always held a special place in my heart.

To play this version of Exquisite Corpse you first need to print out pages 4-7 of this pattern
single sided and then cut apart the pieces.
Fold each piece in half, place them into a large bowl or vessel,
and then draw them out and label them in the order chosen.
