Positive & Negative Space Carved Pumpkins

Purpose: To use problem-solving skills and knowledge of positive and negative space to create a unique design on the surface of a pumpkin and with carving a pumpkin.

What were the successes and challenges of completing this assignment. Include responses for designing the surface and for carving.

The Pumpkin design project was defiantly a challenging project. The pumpkin was a very different element than any thing we have done on a computer. Since we only had three different values to use on the pumpkin so the design had to be simple and clean. Once the design was done we still had the issue of carving which was a challenge on its own. One success was the surface caving on the pumpkin. I hadn't ever done surface carving on pumpkins before and I thought it came out great.
