Then, this week, my art-major daughter told me about an art project her class was doing. "It's called 'exquisite corpse,'" she said. They divided the canvas into vertical stripes, and each person had to add on to the previous person's work. The catch? The previous pictures was covered, except for 1/2 inch along the edge. So each new artist had to use the 1/2 inch that was visible and add on to the picture. I'll post a photo on my Facebook page.Debra McArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434251789378141335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-36644814891757596022010-04-08T16:16:55.029-05:002010-04-08T16:16:55.029-05:00ohhhh funny!ohhhh funny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-19895707834670412202010-04-08T15:11:36.403-05:002010-04-08T15:11:36.403-05:00And what happened to the condoms?
