THE EXQUISITE CORPSE
The Exquisite Corpse is a game invented by the surrealists in the first part of the 20th century.
For example: One person makes half a drawing and covers it in such a way that only a small strip of the drawing is visible.
The next person starts with that strip to complete the drawing, to uncover it only when the drawing is completed so that the final result will be a surprise.
