The Paper Game

As we arranged our drawing tables into a large square

we were reminded of the childhood game of telephone.

Our in-class assignment for the day was much like it.

There were 22 of us, so we all counted 22 sheets of paper and

stapled them into a small booklet. The first page was ours to write

any quote we wanted. Once we wrote our quote, we passed our

booklet to our right. Everyone had two minutes to draw out

the quote of the person before them. Once two minutes were up,

we passed to the right once more. No one was allowed to look farther

back than the drawing in front of them. They had to then gather a quote

for the illustration presented to them.

Quote. Drawing. Quote. Drawing.

And so we passed... 22 times.

The initial quote.

 

The final drawing.
