1
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:23,008
"Art Week is finally here!" Gaby exclaimed. "I'm so excited!"

2
00:00:23,009 --> 00:00:27,915
It was Monday morning, and Ben was walking to school with Gaby.

3
00:00:27,916 --> 00:00:30,128
"I'm not into art," he said.

4
00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:35,465
"But I am excited. I've got my first assignment for the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Monster Academy Times</i></font>.

5
00:00:35,466 --> 00:00:38,171
I'm supposed to write an article about Art Week.

6
00:00:38,172 --> 00:00:42,153
If the article is good, I might get some more assignments."

7
00:00:42,154 --> 00:00:46,758
"Well, you'll definitely need photos to go with your article," Gaby replied.

8
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:49,977
"So much great artwork will be on display."

9
00:00:49,978 --> 00:00:52,278
"Yep." Ben nodded.

10
00:00:52,279 --> 00:00:55,122
"Do you know that ghost named Pixel?"

11
00:00:55,123 --> 00:00:58,472
Gaby shook her head.

12
00:00:58,473 --> 00:01:00,150
"He's in sixth grade.

13
00:01:00,151 --> 00:01:02,355
He's really good at photography.

14
00:01:02,356 --> 00:01:06,205
He's taking a bunch of photos for my article."

15
00:01:06,206 --> 00:01:09,785
"Cool." Gaby giggled.

16
00:01:09,786 --> 00:01:13,657
"I heard Mr. Freaky is working on something special for Art Week.

17
00:01:13,658 --> 00:01:21,262
I wonder what it is."

18
00:01:21,263 --> 00:01:31,944
When Ben and Gaby reached their school, they walked up the steps and entered.

19
00:01:31,945 --> 00:01:38,386
It was early, but the halls of Monster Academy were already bustling with activity.

20
00:01:38,387 --> 00:01:47,415
Near the main entrance, students were hanging up art as the art teacher, Ms. Van Ghoul, called out instructions.

21
00:01:47,416 --> 00:01:51,434
"Zombies, don't drool on the eighth-graders' portraits!

22
00:01:51,435 --> 00:01:57,763
And, mummies, don't trip on your wrapping—you'll drop that beautiful pottery!"

23
00:01:57,764 --> 00:02:03,156
Several witches were hanging up a huge Art Week banner.

24
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:05,635
Art Week posters covered the walls.

25
00:02:05,636 --> 00:02:13,465
Many of the posters included photos of teachers, which Pixel had taken.

26
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:20,060
"Hey, Gaby, have you ever heard of the artist Leonardo da Creepy?" Ben asked.

27
00:02:20,061 --> 00:02:29,437
"Of course! He's coming to Monster Academy on Friday night for the final event, right?"

28
00:02:29,438 --> 00:02:31,124
Ben lowered his voice.

29
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:36,809
"It's supposed to be a secret, but he's planning to donate a painting to our school."

30
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:41,665
"Whoa!" Gaby squealed.

31
00:02:41,666 --> 00:02:44,510
"Da Creepy painted <font color="#ffff00"><i>Moaning Lisa</i></font>.

32
00:02:44,511 --> 00:02:49,010
That's one of the most famous paintings in the world!"

33
00:02:49,011 --> 00:02:52,645
"I know. That's why this is a really big deal."

34
00:02:52,646 --> 00:02:58,796
"Ben! Gaby!" They looked up to see Winnie hurrying toward them.

35
00:02:58,797 --> 00:03:03,487
She was carrying her witch's broom and her art supplies.

36
00:03:03,488 --> 00:03:10,411
Mog was trailing after her, wearing a big frown.

37
00:03:10,412 --> 00:03:15,731
"What's wrong, Mog?" Ben asked. "You look grumpy."

38
00:03:15,732 --> 00:03:20,928
Mog waved a claw at the artwork in the halls.

39
00:03:20,929 --> 00:03:25,267
"I don't know what all the fuss is about," he grumbled.

40
00:03:25,268 --> 00:03:31,279
Ms. Van Ghoul overheard him and came over.

41
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,765
"Why, Mog, the fuss is about art!

42
00:03:34,766 --> 00:03:37,631
And art is for everyone.

43
00:03:37,632 --> 00:03:41,198
Anybody can create something beautiful."

44
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,705
"<font color="#ffff00"><i>I</i></font> can't," Mog said.

45
00:03:43,706 --> 00:03:47,543
"I stink at everything—painting, sculpting, drawing.

46
00:03:47,544 --> 00:03:50,241
I can't even draw a flower.

47
00:03:50,242 --> 00:03:53,355
That's why I don't have anything on display."

48
00:03:53,356 --> 00:03:56,730
"Nonsense, Mog," Ms. Van Ghoul said.

49
00:03:56,731 --> 00:04:07,338
"And there's still time. I'll be hanging up art all week long."

50
00:04:07,339 --> 00:04:11,601
"Maybe you just need to find some inspiration, Mog," Winnie said.

51
00:04:11,602 --> 00:04:15,581
"Yeah, look around at all the cool stuff," Ben said.

52
00:04:15,582 --> 00:04:17,946
"That will give you some ideas."

53
00:04:17,947 --> 00:04:20,765
The Doppel Gang was standing nearby.

54
00:04:20,766 --> 00:04:24,381
The one named Larry snickered.

55
00:04:24,382 --> 00:04:27,593
"We'll help you find some inspiration, Mog."

56
00:04:27,594 --> 00:04:31,391
"Yeah!" Carly said, laughing.

57
00:04:31,392 --> 00:04:36,461
"We know lots about art. We even know how to improve it!"

58
00:04:36,462 --> 00:04:40,795
"Huh?" Mog said. "What are you talking about?"

59
00:04:40,796 --> 00:04:44,634
Moe, the third doppelganger, waved him over.

60
00:04:44,635 --> 00:04:47,732
"Come on. Let's walk around and look at the stuff in the hallways.

61
00:04:47,733 --> 00:04:49,855
We'll show you what we mean."

62
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:52,778
"Uh . . . Okay."

63
00:04:52,779 --> 00:04:59,053
Mog went off with the doppelgangers.

64
00:04:59,054 --> 00:05:06,773
Winnie headed off to the gym, and Ben wandered through the hallways too, taking notes for his article.

65
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:09,783
Someone shouted his name.

66
00:05:09,784 --> 00:05:12,266
Ben turned and saw Pixel.

67
00:05:12,267 --> 00:05:15,944
"Ben! Ben!" the younger ghost cried.

68
00:05:15,945 --> 00:05:20,521
He floated toward Ben, holding up his fancy camera.

69
00:05:20,522 --> 00:05:24,659
"Watch out!" Ben called. But it was too late.

70
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:31,787
<font color="#ffff00"><i>Crash!</i></font> Pixel flew into a piece of pottery, which sailed off its pedestal. "Oops!"

71
00:05:31,788 --> 00:05:37,638
The pot bounced off a blob, who quickly caught it.

72
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:41,314
"Watch where you're going, ghost!" the blob snarled.

73
00:05:41,315 --> 00:05:44,346
"It took me a long time to make this thing!"

74
00:05:44,347 --> 00:05:46,711
"Sorry!" Pixel said.

75
00:05:46,712 --> 00:05:49,685
"That's a nice pot, by the way."

76
00:05:49,686 --> 00:06:02,097
He snapped some photos of it.

77
00:06:02,098 --> 00:06:07,130
"You have to get photos of the witches' flying painting," Ben said.

78
00:06:07,131 --> 00:06:08,779
"They're making it in the gym.

79
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:13,442
When the painting is finished, it will hover in the air."

80
00:06:13,443 --> 00:06:16,358
"That sounds amazing!" Pixel said.

81
00:06:16,359 --> 00:06:19,089
"I'm planning to take pictures of everything in the show.

82
00:06:19,090 --> 00:06:22,299
I'm hoping to get some cool angles too."

83
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,793
He floated upside down and snapped a photo of Ben.

84
00:06:25,794 --> 00:06:29,789
As he flipped upright, he banged his head on a display table.

85
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:35,876
"Ouch! Well, the bell's about to ring. I'll see you later."

86
00:06:35,877 --> 00:06:42,345
"Bye, Pixel." As Ben started toward his locker, loud laughter rang out.

87
00:06:42,346 --> 00:06:48,802
At the other end of the hallway, he saw a big group of monsters looking at something on the wall.

88
00:06:48,803 --> 00:06:55,081
"It must be a cool piece of art." Ben hurried over and gasped.

89
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:57,922
The monsters were looking at an Art Week poster.

90
00:06:57,923 --> 00:07:01,146
The poster featured a photo of Mr. Freaky.

91
00:07:01,147 --> 00:07:09,317
But someone had drawn a big black mustache under the principal's three noses!
