I did the Exquisite Corpse Game with. my large ICT 4th grade classes which has been having trouble behaving during art class. I scanned in my favorite drawings that they did. Many of the fourth graders are new to making visual art and are unsure of themselves. It is the first year my school has had visual art in like 20 years. Each student started an exquisite corpse drawing and they passed it clockwise at their tables to the person sitting next to them. They were instructed not to cheat and look at what others were drawing.. The group activity helped build a sense of community both artistically and in general. And the fourth graders had a lot of fun doing the game and sharing their artwork afterwards. The share afterwards helped build the students confidence in their art making skills. By the end of art, they were all so quiet and listeningI that you could hear a pin drop. I told them how I now new the kind of behavior they were capable of and I wasnt going to give them any slack because they are so talented at art making. I see the class again this Friday and I think they will all be looking forward to art class now.
