During this class, you will learn two ways (Single-player and Multiplayer versions) of how to play Exquisite Corpse games to come up with a creative solution to character design. Then we will further develop the design physically and digitally.

For completing the class, you will need to tap into your inner child, follow the steps, and enjoy the process.

Steps to the class:

A) Single-Player Mode:

Fold and cut the paper
Draw on each side
Fold and open the sides of the paper and see the different variations of the character

B) Multiplayer Mode:

Draw the head of your creature and fold the paper so, that the ending of the neck is still visible
Exchange the folded paper to the person next to you
Continue drawing the body from the neck below, until the waist. Repeat the folding and passing steps.
Finish the drawing from the waist down
Exchange the papers and unfold them

Continue the steps for both A and B cases:

Choose the version of the character that you like the most
Redraw it on a separate paper
Take a photo, scan, or work on your creation physically
Tweak the character’s features - refine the ones that you are not completely happy about
Color the character and name it
Come up with the story based on its looks
Final touches
Bonus Lesson - Cerate a simple animated GIF

Tools needed for this class:

Paper and any drawing tool
Colors (pencil, markers, acrylic paints, etc.)
Scissor

Nice-to-have for this class:

Ruler
Graphic tablet (iPad, Wacom tablet, etc.)
Procreate or Photoshop
Friend(s) - the more the merrier!

With an easy gamified solution you will get an unexpected result. This process will get you unstuck from the creative block. Please feel free to upload and share your creation in the Project Gallery.
