Pumpkin Carving of Dragon
Date: College Sophomore, October 27th, 2011
Time: Three and a half hours
Materials: Pumpkin, pumpkin carving knife, the scooper for scooping out pumpkin insides
Description: Pumpkin carving of a dragon, it is like a long, curvy snake with large scrawny wings coming out of it. It has spikes on it, a long horn on it’s head going backwards, and looks somewhat bone-like. Jack-o-lantern, wings, snake-like, wyvern, orange, halloween theme, evil, dark, scary, lit-up pumpkin.
Artist Comments: There was a pumpkin carving event so I went to it and tried to carve out the pumpkin. There were limited carving knives, and on top of that, the one at our table broke. Most people resorted to using keys, but I ended up using the knife with the handle broken off because it would be more accurate and I did not want my keys to get sticky. After three hours of carving with this knife, my finger began to hurt and the next day, it was swollen. Ah, the things I do for art…
Shining a light through the pumpkin so that it shined on a wall looked rather impressive, however, I could not duplicate this and take a picture of it so you’ll just have to imagine that.
