6 Balance
15
Life is all about balance… It can be extremely calming to focus the mind on balance. This is very much a yoga version of sculpture. An ikebana of calm and, for the very brave, engineering defying towers. Use your plasticine to create a base starting point and the ‘hinges’ and ‘ joints’ of the sculpture. With all of the activities it is up to you how much time you devote. A minimum of 15 minutes is recommended and, of course, this could keep you focused for hours. Prep your plasticine – create a series of different sized shapes such as balls, triangles, squares – it is up to you. You can combine all three or perhaps you like the order of one shape. Now build. You can go tall and wide at points but the real satisfying aim here is height and balance. The cocktail sticks should support like splints or scaffolding.
