In response to the Surrealists drawing game know as 'exquisite corpse (EC)', pupils will construct their own EC using found images from the Internet to produce a collage that can then be worked into. Process 1. Start with a simple game of consequences to illustrate how they can combine their imagination to produce a unique EC. 2. Prepare a range of photocopied image of body parts ranging from the human body to insects/animal parts and fictional characters such as zombies and superheroes. You can also include images of everyday objects, mechanical parts and natural forms. Ask pupils to cut out shapes and experiment with different combinations onto an A4 sheet of paper. After a few experiments, they should start sticking down their final composition using glue. 3. Using tracing paper, pupils should trace over their collage using fine liner pens adding a variety of marks from hatching, cross-hatching and stipling techniques to build up a complex image. 4. Photocopy and enlarge the tracing paper pen illustration to A3 size on drawing cartridge paper (thicker than normal paper). 5. Pupils should work back into photocopies using watercolours. Extension
For pupils that wish to develop this further, they could work towards a large scale drawing using fine liners - see examples below. An initial sketch could be enlarged using an overhead projector if they wish to scale up an existing image or even layer images. |
