Weekend Video Post – Making Snow Sculptures

Snow sculpture is an amazing art. A brilliant snow sculptor can sculpt anything he wishes out of snow. There are even snow sculpture competitions that take place all over the world.

Last Sunday, in our weekend image post, we published a collection of amazing snow sculpture from around the world.

Have you ever seen snow sculptors engaged in the creation of amazing art of snow sculpture.

In this weekend video post, we publish a video that shows the creation of the snow sculpture from start to finish in only six minutes.

Check out the video below:

Snow Sculpture: Six Minutes Flat!

Uploaded by WoodsonArtMuse on Mar 10, 2010

The Woodson Art Museum’s twenty-year snow sculpture tradition continued in 2010 with Team USAs rendition of the 2,000 year-old Colima Seated Ball Player featured in Las Artes de Mexico.

Sculptors Tom Queoff, Mike Martino, and Mike Sponholtz spent close to twenty hours transforming a ten-foot by eight-foot compacted block of snow into the over-sized Ball Player.

While Team USA thrives in sub-freezing temperatures, most spectators prefer to drive by until the sculpture is completed.

Thanks to Charter Communications and the editing skills of their production team, who worked with more than fourteen hours of video taken by Woodson intern Matt Foss, you can now watch the creation of the snow sculpture from start to finish in only six minutes.

Thats right, just six minutes. Think Charlie Chaplin and Busby Berkeley work in snow!
