We are doing a teddy bear. It will be made out if ice, and we will need sculpting tools, lights, and food coloring. Bear will be around half a meter in hight and about 30 cm in width. **// TheRMKTeam //**

 ** Ray, Kit, Megan **

Summary: For our project we'll be carving a large block of ice into a teddy bear. Or a teddy bear like form. Afterwards we'll paint or spray food coloring on the ice to make it a bit more colorful. If we can acquire lights that do not give off heat we will put them inside the sculpture. If not, than the lights will simply be placed around the bear.

|| Day one, working on our concept, which is mainly around light, since, we have no idea how to incorporate sound without it being insanely complicated. Our first step involves making a cube of ice, with a hollowed out area for the lights to be inside. After carving is completed we will spray the carving with food coloring where we desire it. As for the final sculpture, Ray and Megan are currently researching this. I really hope they don’t pick something ridiculously hard. ….a few moments later, they have decided upon a teddy bear. The teddy bear will be sitting down and have a bow around its neck. The teddy bear clear, only coloring in the bow, eyes, paw pads, nose, and the inside of ears, with food coloring.

|| As we sit in the library, I realize Ray is terrible at spelling. After I ponder this thought for a moment, we move on to actually working on this journal entry. Kit is currently sitting in the classroom working on the drawings, because she is an amazing artist… Ray and I, not so much. Moving on to our design, we still have to decide how we’re going to use the Christmas lights. We have a few ideas, one is to hollow out a hole in the bottom of the teddy bear, but we must consider the factor of fracturing the ice. The other idea is to creatively wrap it around the bear. Tomorrow we plan on filling a quite large Tupperware container full of water and we will pray that it is frozen by Monday. That way on Monday we can begin to carve out our teddy bear. We all plan on giving up our lunch hours for that week so we can continue the carving. We hope by Thursday of next week that our teddy bear will be fully carved so we can do finishing touches of food coloring and light.

** Activities to be completed this week and next week: **


 * 1) Start sculpting ice
 * 2) Figure out light design
 * 3) Buy food coloring
 * 4) Make any final changes to the design

I saw you making the teddy bear, and it looks great. Your carving skills are amazing!! Good luck --Ilaria You were pretty ambitious trying to carve from a single block of ice but it's really starting to take shape. Can't wait to see how it turns out. -Marcus It was definitely ambitious of you guys to do a real carving! But I think it turned out fairly well, I have to say the bottom half was slightly more impressive than the top half, but overall well done! Nik Carverhill The fact that you guys can sculpt this is crazy. Your sculpture will look so good! - Huyen Your sculpture looks really good! You have awesome sculpting skills :) Carolyn Your sculpture turned out really good! - Jenna great job looked awesome conrad
