For the exquisite corpse project, we folded a paper into 4 parts to represent 4 sections of the body. We then passed it around to a different person to draw each different section of the body however they wanted to draw it. We could be as creative as we wanted with our section, and everyone else in the group couldn't see it until the corpse was finished. Surrealism is defined as a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images. Our exquisite corpse is an example of surrealism because we were able to just draw and be creative without really thinking about the entire picture. However, the entire picture end up being something very cool looking. It also is definitely an irrational juxtaposition of images. You can tell that by just looking at it.
