For this project, we were suppose to create food out of clay. Each table in class got a different type of food: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert, my table got desert. I was debating what kind of desert to make but i decided to go with a simple ice cream cone. However, the process in making the ice cream cone was quite hard. I started off with the # scoops of ice cream. Those were simple to make. Then i made the hot fudge. Next the cherry ( which had a stem but we lost when firing). And Lastly the cone. After the clay dried and was fired up we began painting. That was absolute pain. I wanted to make the scoops of ice cream classic flavors; vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. painting the actual cone itself was difficult because I had to make my own brown. Mixing colors is not my best talent. The brown kept being too light or too dark. So the cone has many shades of brown. Oddly enough my favorite part of the whole project is the cone. The detail and texture I think I did very well. If you hold it in your hands it feels like a real cone. My inspiration for this project was that the night before we got the rubric, I had ice cream for desert and I thought it would've been a simpler, but unique thing to do. The art work has no real deep meaning it just shows my creativity and clay skills. The few things I would change about my art work is I would lighten the cone and make the cone a bit smaller. During mostly the painting I would stress about how it looks to my friends at my art table. One day we all exchanged art projects and they to stressed about the color brown on the cone. I always stopped to analyze my project. The overall effect of my peers and my clay skills created a ,what I think, turned out as a great project.
