Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) is sitting in front of a pottery wheel, starting to work on one of her masterpieces: a cute, distinctive vase. The wheel keeps on spinning, and the wet, soft, flabby clay is gradually taking shape. She's almost finished the first steps of creating her vase when her lover, Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze), embraces her from behind very slowly. This annoying interference ultimately destroys Molly's vase. But she doesn't get upset, of course, because she loves Sam very much.
Do you still remember this popular scene from Ghost? You can of course create your own pottery without being disturbed like Molly was in Ghost. But unlike Molly, who is already an expert in pottery making, you need to learn it from scratch. After getting skills to create your own pottery, you can make money from it and sharpen your artistic sense as well. There are some other artistic hobbies that have the same advantages as pottery making does. Read on!

If the scene of Molly Jensen and Sam Wheat in Ghost really inspires you, taking a course in pottery will satisfy your dream lust. Imagine you have a heap of raw material in front of you, ready to be made into a ceramics creation of unique shape and color. If you take a pottery course, your instructors will guide you step by step until you finish your creation.
After being exposed to a demonstration of making ceramics by a master, you are encouraged to try it out yourself. After taking shape, your creation needs decorating. Again, at this stage you're challenged to use your creativity in combining colors, patterns, as well as smoothness and roughness.

Flower Arrangement
Source: http://lovepromiseandring.com/wedding-flower-arrangements
Nature is beauty; beauty is nature. This is the adage we have in mind about ikebana when we're relishing its natural beauty. Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement that originated in the sixth century, when Buddhist priests offered flowers to Buddha.
Unlike Westerners who tend to accentuate the quantity and colors of flowers, the Japanese emphasize the linear aspects of an arrangement through a particular combination of the vase, stems, leaves, and branches, as well as the flowers. This creates a harmony of linear construction, rhythm, and color, symbolizing heaven, earth, and humankind in a balanced composition using natural flowers. Creating a distinctive ikebana gives you a sense of personal expression of natural beauty. So, wanna try? Go get the information about it at Pusat Kebudayaan Jepang, Summitmas Building, 3rd floor, Jl. Jend. Sudirman, Kav 61-62, Jakarta.

Painting

For some people, painting is a piece of cake. But, is the result satisfying? That's questionable. With some learned techniques and a little dedicated practice, however, masterpieces that you never dreamed possible will flow from your brush. All you need to do is encourage your artistic creativity and expression. Thus, taking a course in painting might be just the ticket.
There are also some specialties that you can learn: the use of color in painting-creating effects of space and light, whole-field color relations, color contrast effects, color mixing, and analysis of color in nature. You can also get a new approach to drawing skills which place priority on the well-tested capacities of your feeling. Interested?
