Ice Cream
I chose to do the sculpture project because I felt like it would teach me a lot of things other than just art. This project taught me to be patience and that your first time doing something isn’t always going to be perfect. Sculpting takes time, lots of time which are why you need the patience to see your best work. On the art side, it taught me how to sculpt which I did not know how to do before this project. Doing this project I was hoping to achieve a nice piece of work. Overall it looks okay but not exactly how I wanted it to. Through the project, pieces were falling off and cracking and then my colors didn’t work out how I would have like them to. But it still looks nice and creative to be my first time sculpting. Whoever looks at my art will see it and think of food, desserts. The whole meaning of me sculpting this was to be about some type of food and I chose Ice Cream.
In this project, I achieved a lot of things. I felt like as long as the base of my project held up then everything else would be fine. This project also helped me achieve a little patience because when your working and pieces start to fall off you get mad but then you realize that you just have to remain calm and try to make it work and whatever it comes out as it will still look nice and hopefully people will get the picture. My other project (the color wheel relates to this because before I did the circle color wheel my original drawing was a cup with a drink and as it goes down the color would get darker but that didn’t work out. SO what I am trying to say is that if it would have worked out most of my work would have been in the food industry.
My work fits with someone named Sharon Core. Shannon core did a picture of multiple hot dogs. I'm not sure what he did it but I'm sure she did it for the same reason I did. She either loves food or because she never really sees the art of food. I never really see works of art that are about food.
Trying to create my project I took up a lot of time figuring out what I was going to do and how I was going to do it. But then I realized that I needed to just start. I then took out some clay and began to mold it into a flat piece of paper. Next, I round the sides so that it looked like the shape of a tortilla. After that, I just rolled it slightly so that it could shape into a cone. Then there it was a perfect cone and I decided that I wanted to make it look like a waffle cone. So I made lines in and left it alone. Then I began to make my Ice cream like the scoops. I wanted a melted look so I then rolled them into balls and added a thin piece of clay on the edge to make it looked melted. I then let everything dry, I painted it and I didn’t like the colors so I painted everything Brown to make it look like chocolate everything. The Ice cream is chocolate marble and the cone is chocolate fudge. I searched google to get my idea. I wanted my sculpture to be a cake and with a melted ice cream cone on top but as I went through the project I realized that it was a bit too much. http://tinyurl.com/hc8e9o3, http://tinyurl.com/zw4cdrd, http://tinyurl.com/zyonc8y Below are some pictures that inspired me to do this piece.
My art reflects the world I live in because mostly everyone loves ICE CREAM and in the world, we live in everyone LOVES TO EAT.
I’m not really sure how my artwork could have an impact on the world other than to tell people to eat/ Eat more Ice cream who wouldn’t be good because there are already a lot of people in this world who are unhealthy. Doing this sculpture project it is important to take your time and have everything planned before you start. It is very important to be calm and to stay focused.
It is also important to make sure everything is smoothed out. When it’s smoothed out there is a lesser chance that it will crack and break. You can make it smooth by rubbing water on it until you see it smooth like a piece of paper. Put water in a little cup and add some clay to make it slick and then you rub it on your work and smooth it to your satisfaction. That is something that I learned at almost the end of me finishing my art piece.
In conclusion, this project has taught me many things. Doing this project I was able to make mistakes or break something and not be mad because I know that to every problem there is a solution. Doing this you have to have patience or nothing will work out in your favor. This project was fun and If was able to do it again I would and I would change a lot of things that I did with this project.
