So far we have accomplished the design we would like to design. We started to sketch the drawing and assigned roles to each member of the group. We don’t quite know if we are wanting to add color and the size will be based on the size of ice we can freeze over night. No research had taken place yet, but I presume we will be doing that soon; seeing how we should start chipping away at the ice and how we can get dimention and a smooth perimeter. The ice sculpture we are proposing to build will be in the form of a football and will be composed of ice and snow combined.

** Activities to be completed this week and next week: **
 * 1) Draw pictures of football
 * 2) Get ice made
 * 3) Finish journal 2
 * 4) Find tools to chip away at ice to form shape.

Reflection #3

We have started to build our ice sculpture. We had a setback due to the lack of ice because someone decide to steal our water we were freezing. So we had to start to freeze all over again, we got tools and ways to chip away at the ice. Making a football was definitely more intense than we thought it would be, there is a lot of techniques that we would have to do precisely to make the football as we would like it to look. Since none of us are very artistic in sculpting we are kind of winging it along the way. We hope that it comes out as great as we would like it to.

Activities to be completed 1) Finish wiki space entries 2) Finish sculpting the sculpture 3) Comment on everyones pages 4) Evaluate sculptures ||







Our unfinished football, without colour. Didn't turn out great. See next picture for our second idea! So we are trying a new idea of forming our ice with an old football, however we are having a hard time to get it to freeze because it is not that cold out and the football is insulating the water! Hopefully it turns out, and then we are going to add colour! We found out that spray paint wouldn't stick to ice, so we tried food colouring and that didn't work so we put snow around our ice! Then we used coco powder as our dye for colour! Putting the final touches on!

Struggles: So we definately have had our fair share of problems, with our ice being stolen, a hole in our bucket of water, limited tools, and then we decided we would try and put water in a old football so that it will form the shape of the water, but we are having problems getting it to freeze, it hasn't been cold enough and I think the football is insulating the water.

Concept: The concept of this project was to build a football out of ice and relate that back to what we have been studing in class with the study of light, so how the light travels through the ice.

Discription: Our sculpture is going to be a football made out of ice, we are going to spray paint it brown and then chisel out where the laces would be so that it will be a different colour then the rest of the football. The size of our football is the size of a regular football because we are using a football to make our mold of ice. Here is the dimensions: According to www.cdnfootball.info: "Canadian Football League rules specify that the long circumference of the ball should be not less than 27¾ inches (705 mm) nor greater than 28¼ inches (718 mm), while the short axis should be no less than 20⅞ inches (530 mm) nor greater than 21⅛ inches (537 mm).

Materials: Football Water Tape Garbage bag Hammer Chisel Spray paint Lights

Unique idea. Your football turned out pretty well for none of you having sculpting abilities! -Carolyn This is definitely unique. Can you add colour to it somehow? - Huyen Sounds cool and its unique! Colour or lights somehow would add to it ! - Jenna I thought it looked good. Good job! I agree with the others, a little color would make it better --Ilaria Great idea! Very creative, light and color will really make it stand out! -Megan Tollefson great idea hope it works conrad That's cool how you used cocoa powder as a dye. Looks great! -Marcus Wow! 100% improvement from the ice block! Good job guys! Nik Carverhill
