Course description: During the exercises artistic spatial objects (3d) will be created from wood waste of different species. The aesthetic properties of wood and their influence on the coherence and wholeness of the created composition will be discussed. The aim of the exercises is to show young people that an artistic and creative approach has a place in wood technology and furniture making, and that it is worth fighting prejudices instilled by culture as well as by family, teachers and colleagues. Prejudices are destructive and affect the development of future professionals, blocking creativity and a creative approach to work. Creative exercises, among other things, have an AUTO-ARTHERAPEUTIC effect.
