Adventure 5: Lesson 2: Art Project: Carving Soap

Today, just like Michelangelo carved the Statue of David out of solid marble, we are going to create our own masterpiece out of soap! For beginners and younger students, simply allow them to carve the soap however they wish too, to get a feel for it. *Tip* Have lots of bars of soap on hand, the more the better. Practice is key.
