TARDIS

My first art project this semester was sculpture. I have always loved sculpture, and my father spent years doing wood carvings when I was a child. Therefore, I chose to try my hand at it.

I immediately decided to combine my love for sculpture with my love for the tv show Doctor Who. After brief consideration, I realized that, with the time I had available to me, my best chance of finishing lied in my carving a model TARDIS.

I was very worried that I wouldn't have the time or talent to carve a TARDIS of which I could actually be proud. I chose to push on anyway, and was pleasantly surprised with the end result.

What I learned from this project was the importance of having faith in myself and my ability. Even if it hadn't turned out as well as it did (if I do say so myself), I truly feel that it is the effort that really matters. That is what's so important, as well as the decision to try. The ambition to attempt something that seems impossible is, in my opinion, what really stops most people from starting at all.
