Next years Summer Reading Theme is “Color Your World”. There are so many possibilities for us with that.

I was actually discussing this with Krista the other day and I thought wouldn’t it be cool if we did something akin to the Movies Plesantville or The Wizard if Oz. i.e. build something that starts out in monotone grey and then transitions into an explosion of color. Could be anything. A bulding that is greyscale at the bottom but vibrant up top A minfig scene that’s grayscale on the left but gets more color as you go to the right. Or you could do something similar to Schindler’s list’s red coat girl (although hopefully a more upbeat subject). i.e. maybe a vibrant stainglass that pops against a grey backdrop. This would also make for a good quarterly challenge and that would hopefully allow us to produce a plethora of builds so we can populate all the library dispalys in the summer (minus Northland that does it’s own thing).

I really like this idea! In my mind, a left to right (or right to left) b&w –> color would work great (probably better than bottom to top since many of the kids are short and the transition may be a bit more difficult to take in).

Color Your World is an interesting theme – it reminds me of an old Sherwin Williams paint logo. Maybe the graffiti Pittsburgh sign and/or Tom’s mega snot brick could be incorporated into displays.
