The children ended their collaborative artwork of exquisite corpse. This drawing game was invented by the Surrealists in 1920s. Each artist agrees to draw a part of a figure (head, torso & tails/legs) and then put them together in the end to create a bizarre drawing where each part of the figure contrast with each other. I've adapted the game by getting the children to draw on toilet paper tubes with oil pastels and doing watercolour resist. More importantly, they can all do their drawings at the same time and put their artwork together as shown above and manually rotate the artwork to see how the final piece changes each time they turn the images. Hot-glue gun was used to stabilise the final piece.
The children added pom poms to their artwork and chose the sizes of the googly eyes for the teachers to hot-glue them. I used diluted Chinese ink for my first class but realised that it didn't work too well for the oil pastels to show. Eventually, I had to make do with watercolour cake.
The children were introduced to one of the art inquiry approach: Beginning, Middle, End. They observed and drew their 3D artwork on a piece of paper divided into three parts to represent the flow of a story.
