Ice Carving Research Paper
Blood, sweat, and tears, you may thinking I’m talking about a past military event, but I’m actually talking about the pride and dedication that goes into each ice sculpting masterpiece. Growing up the cold state of Michigan, the annual ice sculpting completion in Frankenmuth Michigan was never a disappointment. It was something that our family looked forward to and always brought our family together. It is truly amazing that amount of effort and attention to detail that goes into each piece of work. Having seen first had the works of art being created it is truly a site to see. The History, the different uses for ice sculpters, and the way ice scuptures are created are things that are often overlooked.

    The two types of ice that are encountered during flight are clear and rime. Clear ice is formed when the remaining liquid fragments of the water drop flows over the aircraft surface, constantly freezing as a smooth layer of solid ice. Forming occurs when droplets are bigger, such as in heavy rain or in thunderstorm clouds. Clear ice is solid, hard, heavy, and cohesive. Removing it by deicing equipment is very challenging.…

    Buried in the cold, hard ice, Otzi the iceman and his death would soon be one of the most significant mysteries in history. Many scientists have many different theories about how Otzi the iceman died; human sacrifice; battle and head trauma, but what really happened was Otzi died of hand to hand combat from someone he knew. Anyone that did not know Otzi was a character of importance would have seen and taken the rare ax that was in Otzi’s possession, which points to the first piece of evidence: the copper ax. 5000 years ago, many people were identified by the possessions they had, and in this case, Otzi was identified by his copper ax. This proves that he was killed by someone he knew because anyone else would have taken it not knowing who…

The name Tunica comes from the Tunica Indians that lived there with the Chickasaw Indians. Even though the building is small it leaves a big impact of things for you to think about.

    The Human Experience

    • 419 Words

    The art work that stands out most to me is one that portrays a young boy as a soldier in the US Army. The human experience from this could be expressed as one of many, love, loss, pain, hope, despair, values, beliefs and as we hope not but even death. I think the artist had love, loss and pain in mind with the painting. This is meaningful to my life because I feel that this is a portrait of myself as a young boy. I joined the US Army at seventeen, finished my basic training, school house training and was shipped off to Iraq with my unit before I was even close to being eighteen. I believed in what I was doing, I lost a lot of family and some really great friends in that war. I too had a picture taken with my uniform and full battle rattle, as we called the bullet proof vest, on. In that picture I was all smiles but honestly I was extremely scared and felt almost alone. This picture shows a young man with the same uniform on smiling. It really takes me back in time and allows me to see what war did to the once innocent young smiling boy that I was. I still to this day believe in all I have done, know that somewhere in there I have done them for the right and values of America but still it bothers me now. It also makes me fear for the young boy in the picture, fear for the outcome that will happen.…
