Another students balancing objects

First balancing image
This is an upload that another group of students built as a sculpture for balancing. This is what they made as their first sculpture using a heavy, sturdy metal that would support a few sticks up. The sticks are the reason why the light bulb was able to balance on top because the metal holding it up was really narrow and the head of the bulb was big enough to be held up. Also, it made a really good effect from the see through yellow acetate which would be seen as part of light from the light bulb.


During the day it was really hot so the majority of the students went outside to try out some balancing using the natural environment. Both students Sarah and Laurelle went out to collect some twigs which they managed to put inside holes in the bricks, which when all the twigs were in, they were able to balance on their own. This sculpture was more of an improvement from their first sculpture by using the same colours but using a completely different technique. The twigs were well inside the bricks so they were able to hold up the bulb with scrunched up yellow acetate. This was one of my favourite balancing sculptures by other students because they managed to improve their work and used a completely different balancing technique than everyone else.
