It was our first day at Working Mens College and at the beginning of the day we got split into groups of two and as a team we collected several objects and tried to find multiple ways to balance different things in different ways.This image shows a wide range of objects I found to create a balancing piece. It is a mixture of using glue to help the objects stay still and objects that I managed to balance on their own. At first, I was messing around to see what the objects can and cant do and placed them in different places until I was pleased with it. As you can see, there are a few dents in the cardboard from where I have been moving things around. Nothing was planned to create this because not everything would balance the way I wanted them to. Due to the weight of the Elephant and where I placed it, the object underneath was able to stand up with its curved bottom.
The image on the right is another one that we made using toothpicks. I glue gunned down the two toothpicks around the rim of the tin and was able to balance another one on top, it was able to balance from the two earrings on either side of the toothpick to put on equal weight.
Overall I thought that the first image with the Elephant was successful because I used different types of equipment such as connecting metal with wood to make both balance on each other. Although the metal had more weight, I was able keep them up straight from the length of the wood. With the blue background and the colour of the cardboard it gives the effect that the location of the Elephant is in a hot country. Similarly, there is also a success with the other sculpture. As you know birds fly, and the earrings that are helping balance the toothpick are left hanging which looked like they were moving swiftly in the air.
