Basically I set up two vertical 2x4's (the strings) that are parallel to each other, one at the end of the shop and one in the middle somewhere, and have one student close an eye (not both eyes) and line them up... then I stick out my stomach and start to walk between the strings and have the student tell me to stop when my belly begins to "appear" between the strings. My belly is now in the "wall line". THEN I repeat the experiment but this time stand at the far end of the shop... this time my belly seems to emerge BETWEEN the 2x4s (strings) but is actually not between them... I'm way down at the end of the shop! This show that they can project the "wall line" with their eye and extend the lines to their advantage. It also shows that I need to lose some weight.J Scottnoreply@blogger.com
