Brain Food: Exploratory Creativity Deck for Kids

Project Title:  Brain Food: A Design for Good Product by AIGA Portland

Creator:  AIGA Portland

Description:  This project is the product of a collaboration between the Portland branch AIGA ("the professional association for design") and The Right Brain Initiative, which promotes "whole brain learning," i.e., integrating the arts into  daily curriculum in Portland-area schools.

The group is attempting to get these 50-card decks with all sorts of ideas (build castles out of blankets) into 44 Portland-area schools.  You, too, can get PDF or printed copies of the set plus some other cool schwag.

Episode 5: Jerome Schoolar (Dusty Biscuit), Biscuit Brothers Fine Arts Farm

You and I know Jerome Schoolar as, well, Jerome Schoolar.  But your kids probably just know him as Dusty Biscuit, one-half of Austin, Texas' awesome Biscuit Brothers, perhaps seen on your local PBS station -- and if they don't know him, they should.  He joins me on this episode to talk about the new Biscuit Brothers Fine Arts Farm in Austin, the value of fine arts in raising and teaching kids, and -- most importantly -- how Tiny Scarecrow fits into all this.  (And by "most importantly," I mean "most importantly to Tiny Scarecrow.")
