Symmetry

two of my fellow classmates did a great lesson in class last week based off of the idea of symmetry. how they started their lesson was very interesting to say the least. they began by having all the students in the room get up, and form two lines then strike a pose. the other line had to mimic that pose. from there they used that action as an example throughout the lesson to explain the idea of symmetry. to me that was an excellent way of portraying symmetry. by using their body's they also created symmetrical charcoal, and white chalk drawings by using one hand strictly on one piece of paper and the other hand on the other piece of paper. by doing this they were forcing the students to learn how to use both sides of their body simultaneously. there artist of choice that uses this method happens to be Judith Braun. to me her work is amazing and how she is able to create her work by using both sides of her body simultaneously absolutely baffles me. trying to do it one had at a time is harder yet. yet i do give the group a pat on the back for tackling such a hard concept to portray as a student. this lesson not only taught me about symmetry, but it also taught me more of my own body, and my own abilities in using my own body.
