When we started this project and my table got desert as this project I really wanted to do ice cream because it is my favorite thing to have after dinner. I thought that it would be cute to do pumpkin ice cream because it was in the middle of October when we started this project. I was going to do a waffle cone but I just couldn’t get the ice cream to work with the cone so I just did an ice cream cup. I also made some little pumpkin cookies to go along with the ice cream cup because it just needed something to go along with it. When I had to choose between painting it with realy paint or glaze I picked doing glaz because I thought that it would make the ice cream to look shiny which was the look o was going for. I painted the cup a purple color but it didn't come out how I thought it would look at all. I really don't like it at all and if I could go back and just paint it the purple that I wanted then that's what I would do because as it is now it doesn't look I even tried to paint it purple. The cookies are my favorite part because its the only thing that even kinda looks like what it should be. The ice cream doesn't have the texture that I thought or wanted it to have and thinking about I shouldn't of done ice-cream because the texture is hard to get and most people think it's a cupcake. Looking back I am proud of what came from this project because it showed that you can't just pick something you really have to think about it. Meaning just because you like something doesn't mean that it will come out good. Some people are good at things and to be good at something you have to think about it and think about how you are going to make it work. With this project I wanted to do something and went for it without even thinking about how to make it work and I should of thought about it. If I had thought about it then maybe this project would of came out a little bit better.

When I was thinking of ideas of what to do draw I wanted to do something that had to do with the season and that’s why I picked pumpkins. I thought that it would be cute and kind of easy. When I first started this project I was just going to do one pumpkin and I was going to do a under layer in colored pencil and then oil pastel on top of that. When I did the first started to do the final drawing I did it on black paper because I thought that it would be bright and stand out on that paper. Once I got close to finishing that one pumpkin it didn’t look like a real pumpkin, it looks like a fake one that you would see in a cartoon. I got help from Mrs. Rossi and the people at my table to come up with a better idea and help on how to make it look real. I ended up doing four pumpkins and having shadows on top of the pumpkins and I did it on brown paper. The people at my table helped me show where the pumpkin went in and how to make the shadows not too hard but make sure that they were there. I learned not to be scared with dark and light colors because they really help bring out the detail in the piece. I also learned that you can’t use too much pressure at first because you have to add for color and you can’t if you start out with too much color.
