Why do I remember this film from my childhood? I have no idea. I don't love baseball. I especially didn't like it when I was a kid. Normally lines from films (at least from my childhood) that pop into my head come from films like The Goonies or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but not this one. And this one pops up often.


  

Anyway, these presentations we're going to do are going to take, well, forever. We've got to do something else. Something fun that is kind of silly but not a waste of time. You need another project type grade this quarter. This will be it. Here are a couple of ideas for you. We're going to start shifting from music to television/film pretty soon.

APPROPRIATE REFERENCES ONLY PLEASE!

Think about things from your childhood or shows/musicians/something related to pop culture that you are/were obsessed with and create a Ben and Jerry's flavor (make sure you create the image/packaging) AND look at the first image and come up with one "pop art" (or as someone from Maine might say "soda art") inspired piece.

Right now my son loves Spiderman. A few months ago he was into My Little Pony, but only because of "Rainbow Dash" (he insists RD is a boy). The Big Bang Theory is pretty awesome to him as is Olivia Wilde. He keeps talking about the "gorgeous" lady on the magazine. Anyway, some of these are pretty easy to work with, but others would be a bit confusing or more difficult. Spiderman is easy because he's more ubiquitous than Rainbow Dash. The Big Bang Theory characters might be fun to work with, but Olivia Wilde? She would be much more difficult to portray on a pop can OR as a flavor of ice cream.

The pop can is due on April 1st.
The Ben and Jerry's flavor is due on April 3rd.
