THE ART CULTURE

Horology

(“the study of time”, related to Latin horologium from Greek ὡρολόγιον, “instrument for telling the hour”, from ὥρα hṓra “hour; time” and -o- interfix and suffix -logy) is the study of the measurement of time.

Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, hourglasses, clepsydras, timers, time recorders, marine chronometers, and atomic clocks are all examples of instruments used to measure time.

In current usage, horology refers mainly to the study of mechanical time-keeping devices, while chronometry more broadly includes electronic devices that have largely supplanted mechanical clocks for the best accuracy and precision in time-keeping.

Designer Toys, also called art toys

are toys and collectibles created by artists and designers that are either self-produced or made by small, independent toy companies, typically in very limited editions.

Artists use a variety of materials, such as ABS plastic, vinyl, wood, metal, latex, plush, and resin.

Creators often have backgrounds in graphic design, illustration, or fine art, but many accomplished toy artists are self-taught.

The first Designer Toys appeared in the 1990s in Hong Kong and Japan. By the early 2000s, the majority of Designer Toys were based upon characters created by popular Lowbrow artists, forever linking the two movements.

Wood carving

is a form of woodworking by means of a cutting tool (knife) in one hand or a chisel by two hands or with one hand on a chisel and one hand on a mallet, resulting in a wooden figure or figurine, or in the sculptural ornamentation of a wooden object. The phrase may also refer to the finished product, from individual sculptures to hand-worked mouldings composing part of a tracery.

Some of the finest extant examples of early European wood carving are from the Middle Ages in Germany, Russia, Italy and France, where the typical themes of that era were Christian iconography. In England, many complete examples remain from the 16th and 17th century, where oak was the preferred medium.
