GAMES AND SURREALISM

Surrealism uses numerous techniques and games to provide inspiration. Many of these are said to free imagination by producing a creative process free of conscious control. The importance of the unconscious as a source of inspiration is central to the nature of surrealism.

EXQUISITE CORPSE - 5 points

 These instructions for playing Exquisite Corpse were originally published in a 1927 issue of the Surrealist journal La revolution Surrealiste. .
  1. A piece of paper is folded into the same number of sections as there are participants.
  2. The paper is unfolded and given to the first player, who draws in the first space, spontaneously, leaving slight traces of lines extending into the next section. The player then folds the paper over to hide what he or she drew.
  3. Each player continues the drawings in their successive section, taking cues from the bits of lines that their predecessor left visible.
  4. When the last player has finished, the sheet is opened to reveal the full drawings.
FORM GROUPS OF THREE AND PLAY THREE ROUNDS SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO BE THE HEAD, BODY, AND FEET AT LEAST ONCE.

HOMEWORK

Reading Prompt

How busy hands can alter our brain chemistry

"Admiring your own handiwork" is a familiar expression containing an important truth about the mind. We handed this particular story to our Tony Dokoupil: Are you the kind of person who actually likes washing dishes? How about folding laundry? Yardwork? What all these have in common, of course, is they occupy our hands.
