Q4 Project

For my quarter 4 project, I decided to create a sculpture inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s piece called “All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins”. In my project, I shaped my pumpkins using clay, and after they dried, I painted them with yellow paint and began to splatter black paint on them. To create this, I began to use balls of aluminum foil, that I then covered in clay. To sculpt the clay, I used clay sculpting tools, and let dry. After the clay dried, I used acrylic paint brushes to paint, and another paint brush to splatter my black paint. A new technique I learned while creating this project, was to use aluminum foil to create the balls and not use an unnecessary amount of clay that I found worked really well. One thing that I would change about the project is I would try to give the pumpkins a better shape and work more on the actual sculpting of the pumpkin. A relation I found between this and my previous artwork was the color that I included. Both of my pieces used very bright colors on them.
