The Exquisite Corpse
No... this post is not about an amazng dead person's body!!
Exquisite Corpse is what sparked off the surrealist movement in art history. [You know that famous painting of the melting clocks? Thats surrealism]. It began with a group of eccentric men doodling in the underground art scene. Have you ever played the game where someone begins a story, folds the paper over and the next prson continues writing the story and by the end, when you unfold the paper, you have a ridiculously hilarious nonsense story?? Well Exquisite Corpse is just like that only instead of writing a story, you're drawing a picture.

Anyways... So after learning about this is my art tutorial, i went home and played the game with Bekah.
