During this project, I discovered that clay is difficult to manipulate and it takes patience to get the shape you want to see in the clay. This piece is successful because their was no air holes so it didn't explode when heated. If I could change it, I would have taken more time painting the small details on the pumpkin.
I learned from this assignment that you can make art on all different kinds of surfaces and I found out that I really enjoy the way a simple black ink drawing looks on top of a busy newspaper. This piece was very successful in showing how even the simplest of designs can look interesting when paired with a unique background. If I could change the drawing, I might add more leaves onto the tree branch or focus on small details more.
I learned from this project that you don't just have to use a basic medium when doing an art piece, you can also include things from nature or anything else like that. This piece was successful because I was able to use a leaf to represent a balloon. If I could do this project again I would add more than one nature aspect, it would be really cool to make a whole project out of just nature.
