STORY FORT
Last Spring, we told campfire stories, and this Spring, we're story fortin': using story spinner wheels, the Art Brains kids are working together to weave random spins into elaborate stories while huddled together in bed sheet forts. This has been nothing but bigtime fun so far, and I wish I had audio recordings of the kids talking and getting psyched about new ideas for our tales. The latter have thus far included classes living in giant underwater castles in swimming pools in the middle of the desert, flying sharks, magic booby-trapped gardens, and lots more.

SPRINGTIME AND WINTER LEFTOVERS
Some snaps of the Art Brainers working outside in the warm weather, alongside some hybrid creature plaster casts from the Winter session.

Mad scientist laughter was heard echoing through school hallways over the electric sizzle of our Hybrid Creature Creator Machine.
