Bette Spettel, November 2008
Bette Spettel came to school with milk crates filled with squirt bottles of dye, 
paint,
fabric pieces, ribbon, bright cover papers, beads, bowls to fill with glue
bowls to fill
with tempura colors
dowels, paint brushes
and so much enthusiasm for the process of art and the making of artists. 
She visited each classroom twice and taught each student how to make their own unique book. At the end of the workshop, every fourth-grader took home a work of art that will last a lifetime.
Blake Hendrickson
Using his wild enthusiasm, his extensive collection of wood blocks of all shapes and sizes, and his incredible designer's mind, Blake treated Brunswick's 3rd Graders to a slide show of his own work and a day of wood block sculpture and mosaic.
Blake came early and arranged tables so everyone had a work station with their own glue bottle, their own 10x10 blank plywood to build on, and plenty of elbow room to move around. In addition, each class made one or two group pieces that everyone contributed to.
The students learned about design, collaboration, patience, balance and cooperation. And in the end they each had a beautiful wall hanging to inspire their creativity for years to come.
They all said they couldn't wait to go home and collect things from their yards and closets to make more art! 
Gretchen Berg, January 2009
Here is Gretchen talking to second-graders about Physical Theater. "You don't have props, you don't have a set, you don't even have costumes to tell your story, all you have is your body and space..."
Gretchen spent three days with each class doing exercises, telling stories, and together with the students, making plays about their studies and their lives.
Everyone got to be performers and audience.
Some said it was the coolest thing they ever did!
Teachers said it was magic...
Nantz Comyns, December 2008
Here's Nantz Comyns who came to Brunswick with
a bunch of twigs,
some 2x4s,
a couple of sabre saws,
a couple of drills, 
some straw and chicken wire.
She worked for two days with each class and they put everything together
to start a moose...
Next came the twigs, 
twigs,
twigs, and more 
twigs, 
then more chicken wire
and another bunch of 2x4s became
a wolf!
