A13 Research and Inspiration

Research:
Exquisite Corpse- is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled (Wikipedia)
Different images are put together.  It started as a game in 1925 and they took a sheet of paper, folded it and passed it around to add words.  It started with words and eventually became a visual game and was developed by surrealists.
Surrealism- a movement in art and literature that brought out the creativity from the unconscious mind (similar to a dream world)
Ideas: Opposite gender, cutesy style, animal elements
This one is inspirational because of the dreamlike effect and the fact that body part can be anywhere and anything can be used as a body part.

My style has always been extremely colorful and this picture shows a way to incorporate the rainbow without it being an overbearing piece.


I like the way this exquisite corpse truly has creative parts for the head, torso, and legs.  The bear shows how not only human parts are needed, but animals can be used too.
