Micro-Sculptures Willard Wigan (born in 1957 in England) is the creator of the smallest works of art on Earth! His miniature sculptures include The Titanic on a pinhead, a cat on an eyelash and the six wives of Henry VIII in the eye of a needle. Some art a lot smaller than the full stop at the end of this sentence. Wigan started making tiny things when he was a child. People made him feel small because he had learning difficulties, so he decided to show them how significant small could be! How does he create his unbelievable micro-sculptures? He slows his breathing, then patiently sculpts or paints between heartbeats, so that his hand stays perfectly still. He spends months carving his tiny creations from materials such as toothpicks, sugar crystals and grains of rice and then paints them with a tiny hair such as an eyelash. So how do visitors to Willard Wigan's exhibitions view his work? Through a microscope, of course!
My name is Sergei. I’m ten years old. To have time to do everything I try to map out my time correctly. I wake up at 7 o’clock every day except Sunday. I wash myself, clean my teeth with a tooth-brush and have my breakfast. In the mornings I like to eat fried eggs or omelette, cheese sandwich and to drink white coffee. My lessons begin at 8:30. I have to get to my school four stops by bus and not to be late I leave home at 7:50. At 2 o’clock the lessons are over. If the weather is good I like to go home from school on foot. After dinner I like to watch TV. I go in for boxing twice a week. My training begins at 3 o’clock and lasts for an hour. Then I do my homework. My parents go home after their work at half past five and we have supper at about six o’clock. I go for a walk with my friends in the evening. We go to the cinema or spend time in the public garden. I go to bed at 10 o’clock.
Give me a pinapple, please.
I have a big book.
