Woodworking is the skill of making things out of wood and includes everything from cabinet making, furniture making, joinery, and carpentry to wood carving, woodturning, marquetry, and woodburning. But woodworking is more than just a practical skill; it is both a craft and an art.

Keeping a scrapbook organizes your pictures and helps you keep a journal of memories. Even day to day life, when recorded, becomes history. Photos and memorabilia can be preserved for generations, if stored properly.
Ceramics are a combination of metallic and non-metallic elements that are shaped and fired at high temperatures to create a non-metallic material. They have been used for thousands of years for a variety of practical, artistic, and cultural purposes.
Surf art began in the 20th century, closely tied to the rise of surf culture in California and Hawaii. Early surf art was often linked to surf media, such as surf magazines and film posters, which featured idyllic beach scenes and heroic surfers riding waves.
charcoal is perfect for creating rough sketches and for shadow and light work, because, unlike graphite lead, it is flat and does not reflect light. Like graphite, it comes in varying degrees of hardness. It is best to start with an easier to handle a wide diameter, soft charcoal stick.
Early sewing machines were powered by either constantly turning a flywheel handle or with a foot-operated treadle mechanism. Electrically-powered machines were later introduced. Industrial sewing machines, by contrast to domestic machines, are larger, faster, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and tasks.
Firing ceramics make them hardened and heat resistant. Ceramic objects are used as building materials, functional dinnerware, decorative sculpture, and more. “Ceramic” can be used as an adjective, or as a noun to describe the clay object once it has been fired.

Woodworking is the process of making decorative and useful objects from wood, like cabinets, fine tables, instruments, bowls, and more. It encompasses techniques like wood carving, joinery, and woodturning.
This list outlines seven major styles of art (sometimes referred to as "schools" or "movements"), some much more realistic than others. By learning about these painting styles and seeing what the artists working in them created, you can experiment with different approaches yourself and develop your own style.
Ceramics are items made from a non-metal material (such as clay) that changes when exposed to high heat (like that lump of clay “turning” into a beautiful sculpture). Pottery is a type of ceramic, specifically a vessel that holds something.
Texture, form, shape, color, space, and value are the components of a great piece of art. Without these elements an artist cannot create a work to be proud of.
