Exqusite Corpse & String Projects

Exquisite Corpse:

In drawing a continuous line that "morphs" from straight to curved to geometric shapes to organic shapes over the span of four pages was not the most engaging exercise. Although it causes us to judge each page as its own creation and not just the continuation of the single line, differed because its occupying a different space. A similar exercise was done in boredom during math class. The subject was a human figure, where one person would draw the head, then fold the page for the next person to draw the torso, they would in turn fold it for the next person to do the legs etc.

String Project:

This exercise taught us that there's much more freedom for the creative juices to flow if we don't have the mindset that we'll have to clean it up after. You can imagine how less complicated and less interesting the string composition would have been if we had not all been thinking we could cut the string after.
