Simple Yet Supreme State the Problem Trapped in my house, I thought, “I need to do something.” I requested assistance from my sister, but she soon refused claiming she had obligations of her own to attend to. So all alone in this task, I began making a plan. Complete Background Research Seeing the snow build even higher outside, I searched online to find the perfect idea for a snow sculpture. Disheartened by the flood of simple snowmen, the familiar igloo, and other cliches provided online, I set out to discover an idea I could call my own. I had come up with a slew of ideas only to be brought down by my own criticism. Formulate the Hypothesis “Do you want to sculpt words from the snow?” That’s much too easy. “How about a cartoon character?” How boring. “A snow car perhaps?” It’s been done. I needed something that was never before seen. As I rummaged through the supply closet searching for …show more content…

I received a multitude of requests from my parents and sister urging me to end for the day. So I quickly left indentations to signify where I should pick back up the following morning. The final day came and I was ready to see the results of this project. Glad that I left indentations, I could quickly fine tune the edges. A slight problem lay with the beck of the duck, falling off when I tried to make it protrude from the head. A simple addition of sticks to be the foundation dissolved that issue and I continued working. At the end, I felt proud of my work and relieved that it was all over. Results As days passed and the weather began to get warmer, I watched as my sculpture evolved from a duck to a puddle on the ground.

    Jem and Scout want to make a snowman however, there is not enough snow. So they begin scooping, molding, smoothing, the dirt into the distinct three-circled shape of a snowman. They then add the snow on top of the dirt, to make their snowman white. This is seen when Scout narrates, “Jem scooped up an armful of dirt, patted it into a mount on which he added another load, and another until he had constructed a torso… Jem scooped up some snow and began plastering it on” (Lee 89).

    I have also learnt using thick and thin outline make drawing realistic contrasting various patterns to help the portrait flow for the eyes. I liked the contrast between the thicknesses of outlines in the patterning and around the face. As well as the patterns surrounding my face, as it made the face pop out of the paper as the main feature. Next time I would like to darken out the outline of my eyes, as they are a dominant feature of a face and something that helps determine that it is a portrait of myself. I would have also liked to add detail to my neck, as it looks plain with only a necklace.

    My left arm now hangs limply. Such delight he took slowly bending it, listening to my shrieks, excitement radiating from him, climaxing as the bone reached its limits, shattering inside my body bringing a sickening crunch and blinding pain. I know he’s holding back, I just need to gather the courage to draw more. My face directly in front of his, watching, observing carefully the details of his face.

    Olaf, a large, super-soft plush toy that’s peculiarly situated on a white ledge in the den- a gift I received for Christmas. The repetitive saying, "Hi, everyone, I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs!" fortunately, remains on my mind. Olaf has three distinct building sections of snow; all in all, extremely cute.
