Art is one thing that never becomes clichéd, because as soon as one form becomes popular, another form comes out to replace it. Art is all about expression, and planking is the new way of expression. Planking is a form that includes the art of photography.

The idea of planking is rather simple. All you have to do is lie face down, flat on your stomach and make sure that your hands are by your side. You are all stretched out, and that is the state you are in when the picture is taken. This picture is then posted on the internet, and that is what there is to the art of planking.

Now this will surprise some: if everybody is going to lie flat on their stomach and take photos, what is the point? These pictures are not just taken when you are, say, lying on your bed. Instead, the art is all about using this posture, and coming with unique pictures.

The pictures can be made unique by choosing an innovative location. You have the compulsion of using the posture as it is, and you have to make the best use of it. It is up to you where you choose to lie, and the more creative you are, the more appreciation you get.

To give you an idea, let us give you an example. This is basically the description of one of the many planking pictures that make it to the internet. There was a picture in which a person was lying in the planking pose in between a stationary army tank, and then there was a picture in which more than one person is using the planking poses to make an interesting pattern. These are just examples of planking, and if you are innovative and creative, there is a lot that you can do.

When you are planking, the only thing that you need to keep in mind is that you need to choose planking locations that are safe. In your fervour, and excitement do not do something stupid, and end up getting hurt. This is a fun activity, and do not make this into something dangerous.
