The Exquisite Corpse Adventure is a reading and writing outreach project jointly sponsored by the Library of Congress and the NCBLA. This rollicking story adventure is being created by nineteen of America's most gifted storytellers and artists, with a new episode being published every two weeks.
To maximize the educational impact, the NCBLA has created an extensive online educational resource center for The Exquisite Corpse Adventure. You won't want to miss this week's art appreciation materials, which help kids understand and try out the technique of chiaroscuro for themselves.
