Shhhh. . . Monsters Sleeping Please, Do Not Disturb. This was the sign that hung on the middle school girls' locker room door for the better part of the second semester. This became home for more than 60 "Screamers" in process.

These Monsters were being created in Mrs. Bradley's three Studio Art Classes. The students worked every day on this project known as "Go ahead, make something ugly for a change" based on the art of Dan Reeder. They faced adverse conditions (being stuffed in a dry shower) and marched countless miles (being carried back and forth from the art room to the locker room) getting covered in paint and spackle and learning the hard way that "Gee, maybe Mrs. Bradley was right, aprons DO work."

From the beginning when body parts hung from the ceiling like a bad horror movie to the final presentation at the Spring Fine Arts Festival, these Screamers stole the hearts of everyone involved.

When asked if Mrs. Bradley's classes would be doing this next year, her reply was "probably, but on a much smaller scale." Watch out for the invasion of the "Pocket Monsters."
