Good day, dear students and parents!

Wandering through the pages of the Internet, I found interesting articles about hobbies different people, to which they devote their free time from work, and sometimes their whole lives. Sometimes a favorite activity found absorbs a person so much that it becomes the main one in which the craftsman reaches the highest skill.

Picked up the top ten, which includes unusual hobbies of people in different countries ah, which seemed to me the most interesting and causing delight and surprise.

Lesson plan:

Sculptures made of wood

Many people are passionate about ancient Chinese occupation, but the master from China Zheng Chonghui was able to build the longest sculpture in the world from solid wood - more than 12 meters. The work, about 3 meters high, was made in the form of a wooden copy of the Chinese painting “Along the river during Qingming”, created more than a thousand years ago.

The author worked for four years, carving rivers, people, animals, forests, boats and even entire villages on the canvas from wood. As a result, more than 550 human figures settled on the sculpture. For his work, Zheng Chonghui received a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records.

Sculptures in pencil

An unusual hobby of the American artist and sculptor Dalton Getty. For 25 years he has been fond of carving on... It's hard to believe - pencil lead!

He has achieved such mastery that he simply makes masterpieces of miniature sizes out of fragile material. And while working, he does not use magnifying glasses. Among his working arsenal is only a blade, sewing needles and a knife.

The most painstaking work, to which he devoted two and a half years, is a miniature of a pencil with a chain.

Few people believe that it is made from a single lead without gluing. How he does it? As Dalton himself says, he never sells his wonderful creations, but gives them to his friends.

Paintings with nails

Each of us imagines how to hammer an ordinary nail, but the Briton Markus Levin can not only hammer it into the wall, but knows how to approach this process creatively, creating artistic masterpieces from building material. At least fifteen thousand nails and one hammer - all that the master needs, so that in three days - a maximum of a month - another work of art will be born.

Markus “draws” his iron paintings by hand, like any other artist, without preliminary sketches. The pioneer of such an artistic direction called “Nail sculpture” has been enthusiastically engaged in a hobby since 2005. Today, the artist's favorite occupation brings a good income - his paintings are successfully sold, and at a price of about $ 40,000.

sand drawings

American surfer Jim Denevan has a peculiar hobby, which, alas, is short-lived - he draws his amazing pictures on the beach sand.

During his 18 years of creativity, he decorated more than a hundred beaches around the world with a rake and wooden sticks. The creative process begins immediately after low tide, so that by the time sea water back, the drawing was ready.

When creating sand paintings, Jim does not resort to either measuring instruments or mathematical calculations of distances, doing everything “by eye”, as his heart tells him. Would you feel sorry for the work that the sea wave swallows at high tide? But the artist has a philosophical attitude to the process of destroying his works by nature, calling it an integral part of creativity.

You can see works of sand art only at the time of their creation or already in photographs.

Microminiatures

There are craftsmen in Russia too. So, the modern Tula "Lefty" Nikolai Aldunin is fond of creating tiny metal miniatures.

Being a mechanic by education, he achieved such skill that he was able to make a rifle the size of a grain of rice, shod a flea with golden horseshoes under a microscope, put a golden saddle on it, settled camels in the eye of a needle and placed the T-34 tank on longitudinal sections of an apple seed. and the Ostankino tower with a height of 6.3 mm.

metal embroidery

Many girls know how to cross-stitch, laying out the details of a fabric pattern stitch by stitch. But the Lithuanian craftswoman Severia Insirauskaite is fond of embroidery on metal.

To do this, she takes a male tool - a drill, makes holes, and then embroiders patterns with a cross. In her creative piggy bank are beautifully decorated buckets and shovels, car hoods and doors.

Card figures

Playing cards is not a very useful activity, but the playing cards themselves can be very useful if you do construction.

American Bert McLain became a famous architect thanks to playing cards, from which he built a five-story house at the age of 5. If you have enough patience, you can try your hand at building at least a three-story building. But the talented Bert honed his skills by building pyramids and copies of American skyscrapers from maps. Hobbies led him to world fame.

The Saudi Arabian government commissioned Bert to build a card replica of the royal high-rise complex. For a month and a half and a fee of $ 1.5 million, the card builder built an object 15.3 meters long and 3.5 meters high, using 4,351 decks of cards on it.

pooktre

This is the art of growing plants and trees of a certain shape in order to create natural sculptures from them.

This hobby can be boasted by the spouses Peter Cook and Becky Northey, who began their work with the cultivation of a wooden chair, directing the growth of trees in a given trajectory. For work, sculptors use garden plum and bird cherry.

They do not tell their secret of painstaking intervention in nature, creating intricate images year after year.

Star fever

Who has a hobby, but Briton Paul Yarrow will have a wasted day if he does not flash in the background during television filming.

His bald head and corpulent body, invariably dressed in a beige sweater, have become so familiar to viewers of well-known TV channels Sky News, BBC, Channel 4, ITV and others that reporting without the usual worker "behind the scenes" is already losing its appeal. The unusual passion to be always in the frame made Paul a TV star.

rides

American old man Vic Clement, aged about 80, prolongs his youth with his hobby. How do you think?

He gets emotionally charged on a "roller coaster", flying at breakneck speed at least 20 times for each visit to the amusement park. About 4,000 flights high into the air were counted by extreme sports enthusiasts, confirming their records with saved receipts. Vic set the absolute record on the Jack Rabbit wooden ride, riding as many as 90 times in one sitting.

These are the most unusual hobbies people from different countries have. By the way, this interesting information can be used to develop an unusual school project. Do you agree?

What do you do in your free time from studies? Tell us in the comments and maybe someone will tell about you in their research project.

Success in your studies!

Evgenia Klimkovich.

Friends, today I want to talk not about addiction. Yesterday, while sorting through the closet, I accidentally stumbled upon an album with icons, which I had long forgotten about. It was my first hobby… such a sweet childhood memory… Hobbies are different for everyone, everyone has their own…

Do you remember what you collected? For example, my brother raved about stamps, my son bought dinosaur figurines from all stores, and my niece collects “impressions” by traveling to different countries. But curious, what are they - the most interesting hobbies in the world?
It seems to me that for modern man a hobby is such a kind of outlet that allows him to stop being a responsible employee, an employee of a serious organization, a boss, even a family man, to relieve himself of the burden of obligations and remain a child who selflessly sorts out colorful candy wrappers from a “secret” box, covering himself with a blanket.

Of course, “wrappers” can be very, very expensive, and some interesting hobbies definitely cannot be put in a box or even covered with a blanket, however, the essence remains the same - a person does something for himself that is pleasant and interesting only to him .

A hobby is not always collecting and collecting, it can be intangible, but in any case it develops a person. Hobbies are different for everyone.

There are many different hobbies, but I will rank those that seem interesting to me personally. And you can find ideas for your hobby.

Collecting fragrances

Many girls collect fragrances

This is a very exciting hobby for girls, which can have several subspecies: you can collect perfume bottles, especially such rarities as works by Lalique and other famous artists, you can selflessly look for well-preserved vintages, tiny miniatures, perfume boxes, as well as comparing vintage fragrances with their modern descendants.

The most interesting thing for me is to use my collection according to my mood, then it becomes a real hobby, and not just an accumulation of bottles and boxes covered with dust in a chest of drawers. Personally, I like vintage perfumes, especially rare fragrances that don’t hit the nose in public transport and don’t seem monotonous and flat. Each such smell takes you back to its era and makes you try on the image of that time.

Construction of houses of cards

Building houses from cards

This unusually meditative activity is akin to contemplating a candle flame or flowing water. At the same time, as my beloved Hercule Poirot said, “when I work with my hands, the gray matter begins to function much better.”

Really, fine motor skills develops memory and promotes sharpness of perception, and precise hand gestures make you focus on movements. This unloads the brain, and makes it possible to solve problems that have been tormenting you for a long time. And what can be made from such simple items as ordinary playing cards can surprise even experienced architects. I think this hobby is more suitable for men.

An original hobby is breeding crickets

In China, this is one of the most ancient and beloved hobbies. Here, special cages are built for these insects, in many cases resembling real palaces. Insects are bred for their singing - crickets chirp surprisingly melodically in the evenings and at night. It has a bewitching effect on people - the real music of nature.

By the way, it’s quite possible to try this hobby with us - crickets are sold in pet stores, it’s very easy to keep and feed them, just pour a handful of oatmeal on them, and regularly “toss” a cabbage leaf or lettuce.

Making jewelry from beads

Beading has become a wonderful hobby for girls.

And this activity works like meditation, especially knitting and weaving beaded cords and plaits. The monotonous movements of the hands leave the brain free to work, and it successfully thinks over the current situation, and the subconscious mind, “breaking free”, chooses the most correct solution.

In addition to psychological relief, beading makes it possible to obtain unique jewelry that is now very popular and fashionable. The ancient art of beadwork is being revived and is becoming a much sought after hobby around the world.

Embroidery of pictures and icons with beads, beads, pearls and semi-precious stones

Embroidery pictures as a hobby

This type of hobby arose along with a passion for beading, however, in Rus', salaries for icons have been embroidered with small northern pearls since ancient times. This is a very painstaking work, but it is a real creative process, although people are engaged in it, sometimes very far from art or church canons.

Pictures and icons embroidered with beads are unique author's things that can be not just a hobby, but also a source of substantial income. Many collectors are happy to acquire such valuable and unusual paintings. Just imagine what a great gift this would be! By the way, I wrote about what to give to the boss, who, as a rule, has everything. Curiosity!

Construction of models from improvised materials

An interesting hobby for men is the construction of mock-ups.

This hobby usually comes from childhood. Many boys and girls made chests of drawers from shoe boxes, built models of airplanes and ships, made toy furniture and even houses out of matches.

Having survived to adulthood, this love becomes an interesting hobby, and some masters become real artists, creating unique works of art from cones, branches, bark, pieces of cloth, boxes, clay, and even salt dough.

Cultivation of house plants

Growing orchids is an exciting hobby for women.

Perhaps this is one of the most common and popular hobbies. However, it can be complicated by planting, for example, orchids in an apartment.

These are exceptionally beautiful flowers that retain their decorative effect for up to 9 months. Many of the orchids can adapt well to living conditions in an apartment, for example, butterfly orchids - phalaenopsis. For others, you will need to equip special greenhouses or create conditions similar to their native climate. But with good care, these exotic plants will thank their owners with lush, rich and luxurious flowering.

The cultivation of mini-orchids deserves special attention. They are quite rare in culture, but do not take up much space, the collection can fit even in a very modest room.

Feeding birds and stray animals

This is one of the most noble and disinterested hobbies. Such people deserve all gratitude and respect, because for the most part far from rich people do this. They spend their personal savings on animal feed, making sure that in cold and hot weather they always have water and food.

Vitsin loved to feed pigeons

One of these bright people was the wonderful Soviet actor Georgy Vitsin, who was very fond of pigeons. Being already a very elderly man, he walked the streets of Moscow every day, and his pigeons literally flew behind him in flocks. In his pockets he always had seeds and bread for his pets.

Such people take care of stray dogs and cats, attaching them to new owners and helping to treat them if the animals get sick. If there were more such people, it seems to me that there would be less cruelty towards our smaller brothers.

Collect toys usually girls

Someone collects porcelain dolls, someone collects robots and transformers. This hobby also comes from childhood and it gives an adult no less joy than at the age of five. Then a donated doll or car gave a feeling of boundless happiness, this feeling remains the same now. Each found thing is another little life lived, a reminder of a long-gone and forgotten time.

This type of hobby allows not only to satisfy the desire of the owner to own some rarities, but also preserves for posterity many things that could be lost.

Tourism

This wonderful and useful hobby can become a hobby and the meaning of a lifetime. He has many various kinds- from the desire to visit as many different countries as possible to extreme types of tourism.

Extreme tourism is a hobby for real men

Recently, survival in the wild has become very popular. A person goes to the desert, jungle, taiga or to a desert island with a minimum number of things, and most often with one knife, and tries to live there without help for a certain period. Of course, this hobby is not for everyone, but people like Bear Grylls and his Lost show make real men and strong-willed women risk their lives to prove that a person has almost limitless possibilities.

sand collecting

Not all people know that sand from different parts of the world and various places differs not only in composition, but also in texture, color and shades. From glass bottles with sand samples from around the globe you can make compositions of amazing beauty, because there is even black sand in the world. It is formed by ancient lava rocks, which, under the influence of air and soil erosion, have turned into whole beaches of black sand over millions of years.

There are several masters in the world who create amazing paintings from multi-colored sand. Interest in collecting sand was also spurred on by a massive outbreak of sand animation.

cooking

A great hobby for girls is making rolls.

This is one of the most delicious and useful hobbies, and even with a huge selection of topics. Can be collectible cookbooks or recipes, collect and cook only exotic dishes, or revive ancient recipes of national cuisine.

You can get involved in cooking meat dishes or bake amazing sweets, master the intricacies of cooking sushi and sashimi, bake bread in a Russian oven or cook kvass with sbiten. This hobby will bring great benefits to your family, friends and acquaintances, because they will be fed the fruits of your labor - the most refined and delicious dishes.

Embroidery with gold and silver thread is a great hobby for women

The art of embroidering with the finest gold and silver thread is a rather expensive and rare hobby.

In the old days, this type of art was mainly owned by women from high society and nuns in convents. Now there is no need to pull a thread of real gold and silver, there are excellent strong and beautiful threads made of artificial materials. But the works embroidered by them look no less luxurious than the old designs.

This hobby requires high skill and skill, as well as excellent patience and perseverance, as well as good eyesight, because this is a very painstaking and slow work. But the result obtained can surprise with its beauty and unusualness.

Collecting salt samples

Many will be surprised by this kind of hobby - they say, it is salt and salt in Africa. Of course, in its composition, it is almost identical everywhere. However, there are many varieties of salt, natural or obtained with special processes. There is smoked and peppered salt, with the aroma of raspberries and lemongrass, sugar-white and black, sea and fossil, table and sacred - Thursday.

Salt is a unique substance without which there is no life and any food loses its taste and attractiveness.

Yes Yes! Such a hobby exists! Look.

Pumpkin carving is an interesting rare hobby

Ray Villafen's work

The most unusual hobby. Choosing a new hobby

Unfortunately, not everyone can call their work their favorite. In this case, a hobby comes to the rescue - an activity during which you can take your soul off and relax after a hard day's work.

Most people prefer standard hobbies like reading books, knitting, or cycling. What do you know about unusual hobbies?

Leisure

The need for new activities appeared when people began to realize that they could not choose a hobby from those they already knew. Some active unusual hobbies appeared due to a mixture of different activities, some out of pure curiosity.

One thing is clear - rappels are fond of conquering high-rise buildings with their hands and feet without any insurance. The hobby may also appeal to lovers of parkour - extreme overcoming of urban obstacles (fences, high steps and fences, distances between buildings, sheer walls).

Kiting

If you are a fan of surfing or windsurfing, be sure to try a new type of water sport - kiting. This hobby rightfully fits into unusual hobbies as a mixed style of activity.

Kiting is the ability to control a light board on the water with a huge kite. The difficulty lies in lifting the kite into the air and standing on your feet in strong winds while balancing on the waves. Learning to kite is hard. But those who master it forever forget about other unusual hobbies.

Types of creativity

Unusual hobbies include quiet hobbies - such as creating sculptures and paintings. But what materials are used for this?

Microminiatures

Microminiature is a type of three-dimensional fine art, which is based on the creation of sculptures and compositions of tiny sizes. The direction was formed at the end of the twentieth century, as denoting miniature works in any branch of art. The process uses magnifying glasses, microscopes and magnifiers.

For example, craftsmen carve unusual paintings on rice and poppy seeds, prepare horseshoes for fleas and dress flies.

Despite the complexity of implementation, everyone can learn how to make small figures. Start with larger pieces - for example, try creating clothes and household items for dried grasshoppers and cockchafers. Be patient - the work will be long and painstaking, but the result is worth it.

An interesting kind of miniature work is carving on a pencil rod. Craftsmen carve intertwining patterns and unusual chains in mini format from the body and the core of a pencil, striking with their precision and accuracy.

Alternatively, miniature figures are cut out on the top of the pencil.

To learn this skill, start with a simple carving on the body of a pencil, gradually going deeper and moving to the core.

Pictures from nails

From the name it is clear that nails are the main material for working in this hobby. Boards of various sizes and shapes, walls of furniture and even apartments can serve as a basis.

Just draw a sketch with a washable pencil and start hammering nails around the perimeter. Where the thickness of the lines is wider, drive in several nails side by side, creating chiaroscuro effects.

One of the varieties of such a hobby is threading nails with threads.

Just drive them around the perimeter of the image at a small distance from each other, thus preparing the base. Now wrap their legs with threads, moving from one nail to another or in a chaotic manner, depending on your creative idea.

paper art

An easy way to keep yourself busy free time. First, a sketch of the work is created on a piece of paper. With the help of scissors, cutters, needles, knives and tweezers, details of a complex image are cut out and attached to each other on a suspended base sheet, creating a three-dimensional figure.

The pinnacle of art is considered to be unusual figurines that have been carved and designed, but not separated from the base sheet.

A three-dimensional picture acquires a unique charm if you put lighting next to it at the right angle. Try to create sculptures from only white paper - they will seem light and airy.

Scotch tape pictures

An unusual hobby is complemented by such an art form as creating pictures from adhesive tape. This hobby is very economical - all you need is a white translucent rectangular glass and colored adhesive tape.

Work on the drawing takes place according to the following algorithm:

measure the adhesive tape to the required length;

stick it on the picture at the right angle and in the right place;

trim any excess tape or tear off.

This technique makes it easier to create paintings that show close-up objects or portraits of people. Despite the fact that many of the works are made with adhesive tape of the same color, each time an original, unique mood of the characters is obtained.

Tire sculptures

This hobby can rightfully be included in unusual hobbies. Using tires as a working material, experienced craftsmen create realistic figures of animals, plants and fairy-tale characters.

The Korean sculptor Yong Ho Ji was very successful in this art. He prepares the wire frame of the future figure, after which he covers it with solid or cut tires. The complexity of his work lies in the fact that the master must create the most realistic sculpture: lay out the features of the face, designate the hairs of the fur, the curves of the paws.

This activity is a bit like carving work: the tire can be cut in such a way as to get a flower, a star, a snowflake out of it. And you can cut several strips, triangles or squares from it, and then connect them in the right order.

At first, try to create simple figures from old tires. They can decorate a flower bed in the yard or summer cottage. Gradually, you will hone your skills to such an extent that you can form complex realistic sculptures.

Freezelight

An interesting art that appeared relatively recently - with the introduction of professional cameras. Literal translation words - painting with light.

Take a camera with a shutter speed and a light marker - it can be any luminous object. Put the camera on a tripod and set it up to shoot in the dark for a while. Stand a short distance in front of the lens and start drawing the image in the air with a marker. The camera will capture it as a ready-made bright picture on a dark, slightly blurred background.

This type of creativity is very useful - preparation for the workflow helps a person learn how to photograph, because to shoot in the dark you need to be able to choose the right mode.

A list of unusual hobbies will help you decide on your favorite pastime. It is possible that in the future such a hobby may develop into your main occupation.

Take it, tell your friends!

No. 10. This hobby was called - kind

Many people who have extra money do charity work. Quite good. But then one "comrade" appeared who turned this good deed into a hobby. His name is Reed Sandridge. After he was fired from his job, he decided to distribute money to anyone who needed it. Reed gives ten dollars a day to the most needy. And then he makes an entry in his notebook about this good deed. Original, right? No good deed should be left unaccounted for. Wonder how long it will take.

No. 9. This is an interesting hobby - dog grooming

After a haircut, it can be very interesting to look at your handiwork. What the dogs themselves would do if they could appreciate the creativity of some groomers. There are a huge number of different competitions in which our cute four-legged friends participate. And everything should be perfect in them, as Chekhov himself said (though not on this occasion): both physical training, and training, and ... etc. But the original haircut, or, as they say now, “glamorous” should also be present. Owners can let their pets look "stunning". Now this type of hobby is very common. And it is considered very unusual.

No. 8. This is an interesting hobby - cards

Cards and related games are not a very good hobby. Disastrous, one might say. But, there are options. Architecture, wealth and fame. And what about the cards? One man from Los Angeles proved that by combining all this into one whole, you can live happily ever after. He just builds houses of cards.

No. 7. Train license plates

There are people who like to take notes, write down something. Some do it professionally. What if it's a hobby? For example: the number of the train that departed from some station and its route. Unusual? However, these people are becoming more and more. And so it is all over the world. It should be noted that such a hobby has its advantages, since it requires concentration and attentiveness.

No. 6. Extreme ironing

There are extreme sports, there is a rest in the same plan, and every day it becomes more and more popular. But ironing clothes on some rock? It’s also necessary to drag an ironing board there and some linen. Insurance, i.e. safety rope, a hundred meters above sea level and calmly iron the accumulated things in a suspended state. How do you like this interesting hobby? The most interesting thing is that a large number of people are passionate about this hobby.

No. 5. Polishing mud

Another unusual hobby. In a country where the seasons change exactly according to the schedule, i.e. sunbathing in the summer and playing snowballs in the winter it is not difficult to come up with a suitable activity. But what if they see winter only in the movies and don’t know where to start making a snowman? And here you can come up with something interesting if you approach this issue creatively. Dirt is definitely everywhere. Rolling a ball from this “product” is very simple, only this process is done manually. But the fate of the ball does not end there. It starts to be polished. And bring to perfect condition. Some "mud" balls become works of art that are sold and, most interestingly, bought.

#4 Collecting Milk Bottles

There lives such a guy on earth, whose name is Pavel. Like nothing supernatural. But he loves milk. "Eka is unseen," our near ancestors would say. Many people love this product for its properties. Only Pavel also collects milk bottles. And they have already accumulated more than 10,000 pieces. And this collection of bottles is considered the largest. Pavel himself wants to open a museum where he will exhibit all this wealth.

No. 3. Carving figures from soap

One sculptor to the question: how does he get such masterpieces? - answered: I just take a stone and remove everything superfluous. The same can be said about those who make something out of wood or metal. How do you like soap carving? The most interesting thing is that very unusual figures are obtained. True, how to “wash them off” later, because beauty will go away.

No. 2. Paintings from a cassette tape

Anyone else remember audio cassettes? It may be objected that this ancient history, no one wants. But no! Especially if a talented person who has everything fine with imagination. It turns out from this tape you can make a picture. Since the material is elastic, there is room for fantasy to roam. Similar works often appear on the Internet, from which we can conclude that not so few people are passionate about this hobby. Second place Top 10 Unusual hobbies interesting hobbies .

No. 1. This hobby is very unusual, but ...

In Norway, there is a resident named Kari. We don’t suck her usual hobby: she cleans up garbage. What's amazing? There is even such a profession - a scavenger. Yes, not so. She collects what the waves of the sea throw ashore. She has been doing this for 20 years. And once Kari found a piece of jewelry that is 2500 years old. Well, what is it called?
