Have you ever had a time where you had a small to large size group together, and can't find a simple creative thing to do? Well, that time is done. The following is the guidelines to a project that will entertain groups of all ages, and exercises the imagination and creativity of your guests. This project comes from an art form called “The Exquisite Corpse.” The name comes from the idea of having a group creatively create something that might be hard to identify.

The first step you need to take, is make sure you have enough supplies for everyone involved, paper, pencils, and anything they may want to use as their creative medium. Then take a large piece of paper and fold it in three equal folds. Hand out the paper, while remembering to give everyone a small roll of tape. This will come in handy. Now instruct everyone to secretly draw a head. It really doesn't matter if it's human or animal, cartoonish or realistic, just as long as it comes from somewhere in the creative mind.

Once everyone has finished, have them fold the paper in itself, leaving to marks on the middle section, to indicated where the neck of you head let off. Now, have them tape it shut, so it cannot been seen. Put all the drawing in something so they can be shuffled. The have everyone grab one from the bag. This way no one knows whose drawing the got. If they got their own, that is fine, it will make things that much more interesting upon the final reveal. Proceed by having them draw a body now, with the same stipulations as the first drawing. Then you repeat the same process once again, this time finishing the drawing with a pair of legs.

Once everyone has completed their tasks, one by one reveal the final product of each of the drawing. This may sound extremely childish, but it is a great way to see how people are creative in different ways. Some of the outcomes of these projects can be downright amazing. If you like yours enough, you might just want to frame it and put it up somewhere. The thing to keep in mind, is that art is subjective. It takes the mind to create it. In this case, the minds of a few different people. But in the end, the result is the same. You worked together to create a unique piece of art, that no one else would be able to recreate, without copying the piece from what was already done. So take this group art project idea and run with it. You can change it up anyway you like. If you find a change that really improves upon this method, be sure to share it with others, so it continues to evolve.
