Pumpkin Carving

The subject of this is the carving(s) of the words “BRO” and “YAS”. I used a pumpkin, a black oil pastel, and knives to design this pumpkin.

I use the negative space and made that into the words and left chunks in the center to show where there would typically be empty space.

Though the words are really dumb, they do have a meaning. I was blanking on what to design because my original idea wasn’t working with the pumpkin I grabbed, so I started to think about my friends and what they would suggest, then I though about the iconic phrases we use, which are, in fact, bro and yas. So I decided it would work, even though it technically isn’t “art”, it makes me think of things (my friends) and feel their happiness. It could be stronger by maybe adding little things around the words so it isn’t just words, but also some meaning is explained with the little designs.
