Assignment 13: Research and Inspiration

Research
  • Exquisite corpse was made as a parlor game
  • Wikipedia defines it as is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g. "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun") or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.  
  • Created in the early 1900s by surrealists
  • Surrealsim was a movement away from strict reality, and focused on dreams, accidents, and suprise 
Brainstorm
Adjectives- dreams, surprising, old fashioned, crazy
Who? Me
What am I trying to do? Convey surrealism, make it fun

-Inspiration- 

I like this piece because of its blending of dream and reality.  Its also interesting how many things you can see in one picture: an eye with a fish, just an eye, just a pond, someones eye with a pond for the ball etc.

I particularly like this exquisite corpse because nothing is what you expect. Its not just a normal head on a different body on a different pair of legs.  Each piece is surreal on its own, bar the torso, and when they come together it makes something really cool.
