Gabriela: "It's very colorful and quiet"

David: “I am David the painter of  Sunflowers"

Storyteller: "Luke and Gabriela jump and go back"

Gabriela: "It's alive and is talking to us" (scared)

Luke: "Am I crazy? The paintings don't talk!" (Shouting and placing his hands in his head)

David: "I can,  is it something wrong?" (surprised)

Luke: "You are a painting of the postimpressionism and your "father" is Vincent Van Gogh"

Gabriela: "Post impressionism started in 1880's until the 1900's. In that time Roger Fry started it and Van Gogh is one of the most important painters of that time" (Excited and annoyed)

Luke: "The main exponent for post impressionism was the British artist Roger Fry who placed an exposition of his paintings in 1910" (Proudly of his intelligence)

Gabriela: "You must feel proud for knowing so many things"

Luke:  “Oh, yes” (bragging)

Storyteller:" Luke and Gabriela walk and see another painting"

Luke: "Hello, can you hear me?" (He move his hand in front of the painting)

Gabriela: "We are friend s of the painting of the  Sun flowers" (She put her hands in her mouth like shouting and making fun)

(A soft voice starts to talk)

Painting: "Hello, I am "The Woman in Blue" can you tell me something about me?"

Gabriela and Luke:   “This cannot be happening to us, another painting able to talk?”

Gabriela: "About you? Well you belong to the expressionism time and your creator is Eduard Munch"

Luke: "So you are the sister of the Scream" (Laughing)

Painting: "Really?" (Excited)

Gabriela: "Yes, you are very old" (making fun)

Luke: "Yes as old as the  music we are hearing" (Irritated)

(During a few seconds all hear the music"

Painting: (Angry) "I like it, its soft and with rhyme"

Gabriela: "You are a master piece. In here…alone. Don't you and your friends feel alone?

Paintings: (sad) "Yes, a little bit"

Luke: "We will visit you and talk to you every sunday"

David: "Realy?" (excited)

Gabriela: "Yes, Promise!" (lifting the thumb)

The woman in Blue: "Thank you, but the problem is that  people criticize us and don't pay attention to us"

Luke: "Why?"

The woman in Blue: "Because the guides didn't know a lot about us and people think we are not important"

Gabriela: "But they have to know something, thats why they work here"

The woman in blue: "People don't know a lot about history of art and less of an art so old"

Luke: "We can talk with the owner"

David: "Yes thats a great idea!" (Excited)

Gabriela: "Let's go"

Storyteller: "Gabriela and Luke walk to a place where is an old man"

Luke: "Hello"

Man: "Hello kids, can I help you?"

Gabriela: "Yes, we want to work here like guides explaining the pieces of art"

Man: "You are very young  to know the history of art"

Luke: "We know a lot about that"

Gabriela: "Yes, and we know many artists"

Luke: "Yes, like Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin…"

Alison: Oh yes of course, come with us.

Joy: Well I have seen that the concierge hides one key in one of the paintings

Narrator  1: They start to search in the painting after a while the find the key, but it was so old that it could break up very easily.

( Tania and Joy search in the painting)

Tania:(shout)OHH NOO THE KEY IS BROKEN!!!!!!

    Hi, this is Harshvir and Malvin. We really liked this story. We liked how Freddy was actually Al Capone. Was Al Capone in disguise as Freddy? The story had a lot of action, it made us want to keep reading. The start of the story was very interesting, it really hooked us.
    The story was awesome!

  9. Hello, we're Justin and Angelica from Ms. Briske's class at CHimney Hill elementary. Since both of us like drawing and art we liked the The Incredible Adventure at the Museum because it had a lot to do with art. We really like that you showed that each characters emotions in brackets like (scared) because it really helped us imagine how they talked and reacted otherwise, we would probably read it with no emotion.
    A question that we had was: Where does David, the painter of the sunflowers come out?

  10. Hello it is Diego and Grace. We liked An Incredible Adventure At The Museum because it was interesting how the paintings came alive ad started to talk to the characters!

  11. Hello, this is Jessica and Adijah from Chimney Hill Elementary, Surrey B.C. We are from Briske's grade six class, and we have read your story. It is a very interesting and imaginative story. We wonder how you came up with this idea and if there is anymore to it. Are all your stories related to one another? If it is, in what way? We liked that it was exciting and unpredictable of what would happen to the characters. You could also add more detail to the objects (Example: "The painting was rimmed with golden lining and silver ruffles."), You can also add more to what happened to the characters in the end. For example: "Two weeks later... ECT". We hope that you will continue writing and coming up with new stories for our class to enjoy.

  12. Hello! It's Becca and Darshan, again! This time we read The Mysterious Voices and it was very interesting, especially the part when Tania hears the voices and finds out they are part of the paintings! What really caught our attention was the title. It made us very curious to read the story. We found the arguing between the masterpieces quite amusing! We really liked how they sing and dance at the end of the story. There was also a lot of information about art history, surrealism, Harlem Rennaissance and International Styles. We would have never thought of such a fantastic script, so we were wondering how long it took you to research and create this wonderful story?
    Yours Truly, Becca and Darshan.

  14. Hey, its Conner and Bianca again and we just read "The Magic of the Artist Brush" we thought it was alright. We thought it was alright because we weren't sure why the guards didn't bust down the door and catch them? We also weren't sure how art causes a revolution because art gives enjoyment to people not outrage? We also wonder what will have to the 3 brothers when the guards find them? Will they go to jail? Will they be let off the hook?

    Please write us the answers.
