together in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>First, we started off with some exquisite corpse drawing.\u00a0 Exquisite corpse was a game played by surrealist artists in the 1920s.\u00a0 Players write or draw on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to another person to continue the writing or drawing.\u00a0 To give you an idea, here are some examples of exquisite corpse drawings done by the surrealists.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pasadena-library.net\/kids\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/10\/files\/sites\/10\/2013\/11\/corpse-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
