Exquisite corpses were invented in France in the late 1920s. The technique was invented by Surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution.
Brainstorming
What will I be forming (Head, body, legs)? Adjectives or Phrases? What am I trying to communicate? Who is the audience (Us)? What colors should be used? What style should I go in?
The fish head drew my attention, but the beauty is that it's so surrealist that you have no idea it's an exquisite corpse until you look closer.
