This swap should be a ton of fun for anyone looking to be a little silly! Everyone will create three exquisite corpse drawings, make them into postcards, and send one to each of your three swap partners. If you do not know what "Exquisite Corpse" is, it is a type of Surrealist art game, and there are many variations. Here's the one we'll be using for this swap:
* 1: Find yourself another person. Could be a friend, co-worker, relative, enemy... anybody, because this project requires more than one person!
* 2: Take a piece of paper. One person makes a drawing of a head. Any head. Person, monster, abstract, space-alien, any head you like. The second person DOES NOT PEEK while the head is being drawn. The first person attaches the beginning of a neck to the bottom of the head, then covers the head drawing until only the end of the neck is visible.
* 3: Person number two now takes the mostly-covered drawing, and draws a body, ANY body, attached to that neck, and that head they can't see! Person number one Does Not Peek while this is going on. When person number two is finished with the body, she or he covers both the head and body, leaving just the beginning of the waist or legs visible.
* 4: Person number one takes the drawing back, finds out whether to start drawing from the waist or legs, and finishes off the drawing, adding feet, tenticles, a wheeled robot bottom... Whateve sounds most fun!
* 5: The drawing is unveiled in all its glory! These drawings are nearly always uproariously funny, and can be super addictive.
* 6: Repeat three times, then make the drawings into three postcards and mail to your partners.
* 7: When you receive your exquisite corpse postcards in the mail, laugh your head off and rate your partner!
Some more fine print:
This swap is international.
Anyone with a 4.5 or higher rating, as well as newbies with a completed profile, is totally welcome to join. If you have a lower rating for any reason but want to participate, just contact me and I'll probably let you in.
You don't need to be "good at drawing" at all to be great at making exquisite corpses, but please put in the effort to make physically attractive and well-made postcards that you can be proud of.
