Fun Days really are some of the best
days! Not only are we celebrating the students' hard work during art class, but
we're also getting to stretch our creativity in ways we don't normally
have time to explore. The students always get to pick their activity
(as long as it somehow involves art!) and many classes have latched on
to one of my favorite games "Exquisite Corpse." In this game, the paper
is folded into thirds and then one person draws the head, another the
torso, and the last the legs; however, no one knows what the person
before drew. It's not until the end of the game when everyone unfolds their
drawing that they see the silly creature they've made! This art game was actually
quite common amongst Surrealist artists because it would inspire them to
create the unique characters that appeared in their paintings (Salvador Dali is one of
the most famous Surrealists).
Enjoy the creativity and maybe play it at home one day!
