Writing and Drawing the Body: "Exquisite Corpus" Workshop

Pour yourself a hot cup of coffee or tea and get ready to make art. This worksheet includes prompts for writing and drawing "body stories," from a workshop Oliver taught in Bloomington, Indiana, in 2015. 

Workshop Description: It’s time, friends, to talk about the body! We will write and draw our way through a series of hands-on exercises designed to investigate and invent new ways of imagining and describing the body and its parts. Cubism, trans theory, chiropractics, and minotaurs will help us along as we send our anatomy from text to image and back again. No particular writing or drawing experience is necessary, but you must be willing to write and draw anyway. BYO body and a pen or pencil.
