(A SCAD/WMU Exquisite Corpse Collaboration)
In the spirit of the Surrealists’ exquisite corpse drawings, our Art 1050: Drawing Studio students have created the "top, above, north, up, over" part of a drawing, and the Savannah College of Art and Design Drawing II students have created the "bottom, south, down, below, under" part of a drawing. The two halves will be united this summer and will be exhibited this fall at WMU in Kalamazoo, MI, and SCAD in Atlanta, GA, and there is discussion about producing a small catalogue highlighting the work. It is an inter-curricular collaboration for both schools.
