Vegetable and Fruit Carving Five W's


The Five Ws, Five Ws and one H, or the Six Ws are questions whose answers are considered basic in information-gathering. Today I will be applying the same to this wonderful Art of Vegetable and Fruit Carving. Let us see how each of these interrogative words can be applied in trying to get the most out of this simple yet interesting Frequently Asked Questions - (FAQ) session. 

I am going to make it more interesting by twisting the order of the Five Ws and One H in a way that it makes it more fun and easy for the reader to follow and understand. In this post I will only highlight the application of each of the Ws and the H to the subject of Vegetable and Fruit Carving and then we shall take up each of the specific interrogative sessions in a separate post by itself so we can deal with it in detail. 

Hopefully when we have dealt with all the Five Ws and one H about Vegetable and Fruit Carving we will have had a very clear panoramic view and understanding of this great Thai Art. 

We all know the Five Ws and one H as follows:

Who ?
What ?
When ?
Where ?
Why ?
 
and

How ?

Let us see how we can apply these to our subject of Vegetable and Fruit Carving and get the best of this Informative and Interrogative fun activity! For this I will be changing the order of the words so as to suit our subject. 

As mentioned earlier in this post I will only give a brief idea of what we will be expecting in the respective posts, and then my subsequent Posts will have the same headings so it makes it easy for the reader to relate with this post. It is possible that the same interrogative word can be viewed in different contexts which I will highlight in the respective posts. 

We shall start with the obvious first question....

What - is Vegetable and Fruit Carving? ....In this question we will deal first briefly and then in detail about what exactly is this Art of Vegetable and Fruit carving and its use in both commercial and domestic circles. It will also deal with the when it can be used and where all this Art can be used. 

When - When of Vegetable Fruit Carving will deal with when and where this Art has originated, and the influences of each country on the styles of Vegetable and Fruit Carvings.

Why - This question is basically covered in the What, but we shall deal in detail why this Art has taken the front seat and why it still commands the respect and liking of millions of Artists both Culinary as well as the  customer who this appeals visually. 

Who - this section will deal with who, where and how this art can be used. In a later post I will be also dedicating to the Artists all over the world a literal Who's Who of the famous Artists all over the world.  

Where and How - I have combined these interrogative words as they compliment each other in the subject of How to Carve Vegetables and Fruits and Where to learn this Art of Vegetable and Fruit Carving. This will exhaustively deal with Training Institutes, Professional Artists and Academy who offer training on this great Art of Carving. I will try to give as many links or details where and How this Art can be learnt all over the world.

The whole purpose of this small fun loving yet detailed activity is to enjoy this wonderful Art of Vegetable and Fruit Carving in the same way the Artists who create these work of Art, and equally in the same manner as it makes the presentation of this Art so pleasing. 

A lot of imagination, creativity, pre-planned activity and sheer dedication goes into creation of these work of Art as I always refer this to. The Outcome is sheer Magic and if we all try and understand the Five Ws and one H of this Art it won't be long before one of you or many more will turn out to not only be an avid follower but an Artist itself of this Art. 

As always the comments, suggestions, and views of my valued readers and patrons is invaluable and will be highly appreciated, so shoot off your ideas and comments and make this activity more fun loving and interactive!

Vegetables Fruits and Destinations

Continuing on my effort to bring to my viewers the best information about Vegetable and Fruit Carvings, Tools, Accessories, Videos, Books, CD's, etc, I thought of giving them something more! In one of my earlier Posts I had mentioned that I would be writing about the various Fruits and Vegetables used for carving along with images and videos of those carvings. I have further worked on this and will be now posting various articles and posts not only introducing the Fruits and Vegetables used for carving, but also giving details of the places they come from,where they are grown, and also some information about those places and Tourist locations, with Travel information as well. 

This will not only make the post and article more interesting for all my wonderful readers but also enlighten the readers about the locations,the climate, and destinations to visit. 

Vegetables and Fruits grow in many countries, but are mostly native to specific countries whose topographical and climatic conditions allow the fruit to grow in abundance and also enhances the quality, texture, and taste of the fruit or vegetable. Many exotic fruits and vegetables are unique to a particular country or climate and are alien to people from other countries. Few people have even heard or seen the Fruit or Vegetable in their whole life, let alone taste it. This prompted me to bring forward this special Vegetable, Fruit and Destination series of Post starting with one shortly. 

My first Post to come would be none other than Fruits found in Thailand the very mother of the Art of Vegetable and Fruit Carvings. This will be followed by a series of similar posts which will not only give a brief description of the variety of Fruits or Vegetables found in those countries or destinations, along with some work of carving of some of those fruits and videos if available. This will be complimented with a small write-up on the Destination itself, its climate, geographic location, and Travel Destinations with some links to the best Travel Facilities available in those locations. 

I am sure all you readers will like this whole new way of bringing forward to you this wonderful art of Vegetable and Fruit Carving!

As always your views, comments, and suggestion via the comment box will be invaluable and highly appreciated.
