For those people who are willing to apply themselves, anything can be taught. This includes knowing how to take a simple clump of wood and carve it out into magnificent Wood Turtle Hawaii sculptures that can be placed in and around the home to show off to guests or to sell. The possibilities are virtually endless and the great thing is, doing so has many benefits.
The reason that is the case is because, applying your mind in class will release a hormone called Serotonin, which is the feel-good hormone that not only makes you feel good once all the nailing has been done but has other benefits too, such as keeping people away from depression and regulating moods.
Unless the class you attend is in a digital setting. All of the supplies needed will have to carried and moved by the student. Which in this case happens to be you. The back and forth movement, the chiselling and even the tidying up afterwards. These are all strenuous physical acts that are synonymous with another similar activity that makes use of weights. That s right, exercise.
Making wood sculptures, or at the very least, learning how to make them is not only good for the mind but the body too. This is because of all the lifting and shuffling of heavy material around, as well as working with equipment that is strong enough to cut and mold such resistant material. It ll sure give those who take their stuff seriously one hell of a workout.
The first and probably the most obvious skill when you think about it, is the level of math that goes into ensuring things are just right. No rule holds true in this regard than the measure twice, cut once. Being a centimetre off could spell disaster for the entire sculpture, meaning that more time needs to be dedicated towards fixing that mistake or in a worse case scenario, starting the sculpture again from the beginning. Minus the introductions to everybody in the class.
Working with wood and the sharp objects needs one to concentrate on what they are doing or else they could end up with a boo-boo or even worse, a lost limb. The class can be used as a way of taking out all of your frustrations in a peaceful and regulated manner, freeing up some space in the mind for one to be creative and think out the box, instead of creating one.
Lastly, one forms part of a bigger community with the same interests. This is also an ideal place to form and make new friends based on the common interests that are shared, getting notes on how to develop your skills and even something more. If there happens to be that special somebody amongst the crowd.
These are some of the benefits that one is afforded when taking a wood sculpting class. Other than learning how to sculpt, there are other skills one that may or may not be aware of that they can learn. And who said wood couldn t teach you anything?
