Mortar & Pestle

Most people know that mortar and pestle are used to crush, grind, and mix solid substances. The pestle is a heavy bat-shaped object, the end of which is used for crushing and grinding. The mortar is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, ceramic or stone. The substance to be ground is placed in the mortar and ground, crushed or mixed with the pestle.

Class exercise

By using a mind map, the lecturer told use to create a different purpose of mortar and pestle aside of how it’s normally used. I had chosen exercise, game and music.
What I draw in class.  

  1. Exercise: Two mortars and a pestle in between to connect both of it similar to a dumbbell. 
  2. Music: A mortar as drum and two pestles as the sticks.
  3. Game: Six mortar stacks like a pyramid and from a distant used a pestle to knock down the pyramid.
