Monica&Sam+Journal

= JOURNAL ENTRY- Week 1 Monica&Sam = Today we finally figured out how to use the wiki pages & added our group page. For our project we have decided to create an ice sculpture idea of a turkey. First we will start off with a large rectangular ice block that we will make with a plastic container. To get our ice block out we will warm it up slightly & hope that it comes out in one piece.

Though we have had some trouble coming up with an idea of how to use sound, we have decided to make an open-ended resonator using the turkeys mouth. Also If we have enough time & skill we will try to make our turkey play a flute made out of ice. For the color we will use spray bottles filled with food coloring & for the lighting we will try to use simple LED lights.

Activities to be completed
 * 1) Come up with a design
 * 2) Freeze a giant block of ice
 * 3) Begin to sculpt!

= JOURNAL ENTRY- Week 2 Monica&Sam = Unfortunately, our ice carving skills are not near as advanced as once thought so instead of a turkey we’ve agreed on a simpler project that doesn’t involve a lot of carving: a snowman.

The snowman will be frozen onto a sheet of ice to increase stability and will be made from various adhocs including balloons and small milk cartons. The pieces will be frozen individually before being frozen together with hot water, a deepfreeze and an incredible amount of patients. The sculpture will be painted on a later date with food colouring and may even have a nose, should we come across an icicle.

Activities to be completed = JOURNAL ENTRY- Week 3 = So far our snowman has been looking pretty good. We have everything set up and placed together and we are now just waiting for our hat to fully freeze so that we may attach it. We have added an icicle for the nose and tomorrow we have will make our final touches by carving in the eyes and other details. Though this project has been fairly tough we have managed to create our sculpture while including color. Tomorrow we will add in the light and sound. Then our sculpture will be complete.
 * 1) Come up with a new design
 * 2) Freeze a water balloons and milk carton
 * 3) Put peices together

Activities to be completed:
 * 1) Sculpt in details
 * 2) Attach hat to sculpture
 * 3) Incorporate light and sound

FINAL REFLECTION So our project is finally done and though it was not our first choice, we think it has turned out quite well! It might not be the largest or most extravagant project but it actually took us quite awhile and we put some hardwork into it. It has been a fun project and we are quite happy with our work.
