When we were assigned this new project on making a place setting for someone or something, I couldn't decide on what i wanted to do. After taking about two days to decide I figured out that I wanted to do my brothers. At first I wanted to my little brother James because he is basically my best friend, even though he is only 10 he is the coolest and best little brother. Then after thinking about it I figured I would do all my brothers because I believe they are the most awesome people on earth and I wouldn't want any other brothers. When I decided to do all my brothers the first thing to come to mind was hockey, since we all have that in common. I decided to make my bowl a hockey helmet, my plate has the hockey sticks on it with a quote and then my cup sort of resembles the hockey ball. Instead of making my place settings all match each other I went with the colors that show off each of them. The purple with grey and black stand for our hockey orginization that we have been playing for since we were 4. The orange and black symbolizes the Philadelphia Flyers because my brother are die hard flyers fans. Finally the black and yellow symbolizes the Pittsburgh Penguins because they are my favorite hockey team and my brothers constantly make fun of me for liking them. When I first began this project I just chose colors and symbols but as I was making the plate and the bowl and the cup it started to click what each color meant or what each item was going to be. I would have to say this project was hard to do but it was also easy. Making the place settings was very difficult and I changed my mind numerous times and I would have a hard time with certain things and just want to change everything. The easy part was glazing it all because I had the colors and what I wanted to do in mind already so all I needed to do was paint it on there. But during the process I realized it wasn't that easy and it was a struggle, it took me longer than most people to finish my place setting but in the end I like what I made and I got my point across for what I wanted to do and what my message was.
