 12 width:500px;height:332px A local artist has sculpted a mother polar bear and her cub out of snow for the Take the Roof Off Winter event at the Lebrun Centre in Bedford. (Bobbie-Lynn Hall) 13 width:500px;height:363px Gordon Sparks is riding high on the positive feedback he's receiving for his snow sculptures. The 33-year-old tattoo artist took three days to study polar bears and sketch out ideas before sculpting mom and cub, a sculpture he created for a Take the Roof Off Winter event at the Lebrun Centre in Bedford. Although he has worked with wood and clay, this winter is the first time Sparks has attempted sculpting with snow. So far, he's done three sculptures including the polar bears and is looking forward to creating more if the weather allows. Lebrun Centre recreation coordinator Judy Power said word has gotten out about the Lebrun bears and people are coming to the centre playground with cameras and cellphones to take pictures of the life-size work of art. Sparks' ultimate dream is to create a giant sculpture for the city ... perhaps out of granite. Until then, he will continue practising with snow — a medium he says, that is very forgiving. "If you make a mistake you just throw some water on it, gather up more snow and start again," he said.

NICKI HIMMELMAN 17 height:500px;width:333px A Grade 5 class at Basinview Drive Community School in Bedford constructed a portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. on their gymnasium wall in recognition of African Heritage month. The twist? This portrait is made up entirely of dominos. Even more unique is that the dominos themselves were handmade by the students. Class teacher Tera Fraser explained there wasn’t a budget to just go out and buy that many dominos so they went ahead with black construction paper and a hole punch. The original domino artist is Robert Bosch (www.dominoartwork.com).  Pictured from back left: Jordan Whitford, Sidney MacLean, Gage Fowler, Josh Gray, Brandon Graves and Ethen Ivanoff. Row in front of back from left: Megan Johnston, Paige Michaud, Duncan MacLeod, Ethan Price, Christopher Churchill and Tera Fraser (teacher).  Second row from front from left: Alison Johnson, Caitlin Penney, Ashley Audas, Connie Young, Maryn Matheson, Samuel McLean and Matthew Aubut. Front row from left: Sam MacKay, Peter Thompson, Shawna Cosgrove and Malcolm Halliday (in the scout uniform). Missing from photo are Sarah Drydale, Evan Thorne and Molly Lloyd.
