On Sunday we took Gus to the "Flappet" workshop at the Museum of Life & Science, run and inspired by artist Steve Gerberich. In 2008 Gus went to a different workshop, same artist, at which he made and raced a car. If an exhibit by Steve Gerberich is coming to your town you should check it out and that goes double for one of his workshops!
Gus got to handle a battery drill, a glue gun, a battery jigsaw (no pictures of that -- I was too busy hovering in case a quick rescue was necessary!), and exercise his imagination. He chose to make a Flappet Zooey (modeled after his aunt's dog) with ears and tail that move. Apparently he got tired of my asking him to let me take pictures. We decided to finish the painting at home, and I think we may do that after school today since dinner is already in the crock pot (yes!).
