0:00:03 > 0:00:05I'm Ricky. I live in Bristol.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10By day, I work as an animator, which is lucky because I love art.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I live for art. I even dream of art.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I draw.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16I paint.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19I make things.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22I hang out with my mates,
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Gavin,
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Michelle,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Rich and Sarah. SHE SCREAMS
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Most importantly, I make ninja moves.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Some people call me the...
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Art Ninja!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Today I will show you how to make a great fish bat-and-ball game
0:00:38 > 0:00:41worth carping on about...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I catapult some art to the next level...
0:00:43 > 0:00:47and I'm in remote control of an epic painting.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Because today it's...
0:00:50 > 0:00:52..Day Of The Game.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57HE YAWNS
0:00:57 > 0:00:58It's a new day.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Time to get a ninja on.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02And my clothes!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15SEAGULL SQUAWKS
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Gavin, what are you doing here?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I'm playing a new game I downloaded on the phone.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's called Grand Turbo Racing Apocalypse 7.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I don't care what it's called.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31What are you doing in my flat with my phone?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- Hey!- Give it here.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38I'm trying to get the super genius mega-high score. Don't distract me.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I'm going to make a game that's less laser ray and more manta ray.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46It's the Art Ninja fish bat and ball.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm going to grab an old coat hanger here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I'm just going to bend it out into a diamond shape.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Like that.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Now, I've got an old cereal box here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm going to draw around that a diamond shape.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Now I'm going to cut that out.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Using masking tape,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I'm just going to stick it all the way around
0:02:16 > 0:02:18on the inside of the coat hanger.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I'm using the tape just to kind of soften up the cardboard
0:02:24 > 0:02:26into the hook at the bottom.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27There we are.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Now I've taped it all the way around,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I can bend it to create the wings of the manta ray
0:02:31 > 0:02:32and it will hold its shape.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Now I've got some old yoghurt pots
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and these are going to become the eyes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41But I'm going to chop them down a little bit
0:02:41 > 0:02:44because, at the moment, they are a bit too tall.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48And I've left them slightly too tall
0:02:48 > 0:02:52so that I can cut some slots into them here to create some flaps,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56so they are easier to stick to the top of the manta ray.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'm just going to stick them on with some masking tape.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Now I'm going to cover it in a layer of papier-mache.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, I've got some newspaper here
0:03:08 > 0:03:09and some mix.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Two parts PVA, one part water.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15With a brush, I'm just going to start pasting it on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Now, I could wait for this to dry -
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but not me, I'm going to use my ninja skills.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38There we are.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's dried nice and hard and I've given it an undercoat of white
0:03:41 > 0:03:43so now it is ready for painting.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm going to be using a sponge just to give it a nice texture.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Starting with the light grey.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm going to go back and do a darker grey around the edges
0:03:56 > 0:03:57and along the spine.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Now I'm going to add the darker parts to the ray,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and I'm going to use just the edge of my sponge there
0:04:07 > 0:04:08so I can get a bit more control.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Just need to leave that to dry
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and I'll get ready some darker and lighter tones
0:04:23 > 0:04:26so I can add even more detail.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27A little bit there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And I'm going to use a much smaller brush
0:04:30 > 0:04:32so I can just get in and do those nice little dots.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I think that's looking really good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48There's a lovely range of different dots on there,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51giving him a nice, realistic texture.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, with a black marker pen,
0:04:53 > 0:04:54give him some eyes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02There we go.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I think my manta ray bat looks absolutely fantastic.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06But if you want to play with your mates,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08you'll need to make another one.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12You could make a nice round football bat
0:05:12 > 0:05:15or a long leaf-shaped cricket bat
0:05:15 > 0:05:18complete with its very own cricket.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19And, as it's a bat and ball game,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'm going to need a ball.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So I've made one out of the leftover papier-mache mix
0:05:24 > 0:05:25and I've painted it white.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Let's see if I can distract Gavin away from that game on my phone.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Ow.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Serves him right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Gav's distracted and he's distracting me, too.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Come on, time to go.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55There you go, mate.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Look where you're going!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58BANG
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Fail.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03One thing you can't fail to miss is that that picture
0:06:03 > 0:06:04has a life of its own -
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and that's because it's animated.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Do you know what? What a lovely meal.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Thanks for having us over, Seb.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Hey, look, guys. My pleasure.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yeah, that was really good. Thanks, man.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16You know what? I really, really like these mints.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I just love them so, so much.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20They are my favourite.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The mint is mine!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm the guest! I get the mint!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44To make this a light battle animation,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46you'll need a couple of mates -
0:06:46 > 0:06:49some to act and one to press the shutter.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52A few torches -
0:06:52 > 0:06:54get a range of sizes, like having different brushes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57A camera that shoots long exposures,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00a flash, and a computer with animation or editing software.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04There are loads of packages you can get free online.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And you can put it together in just three ninja moves.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Ninja move number one.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11So, the first thing to do is a little bit of planning.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13So, I'm going to do a storyboard.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14These don't have to be super clear.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17To make it a bit quicker, I'm going to do some stick figures.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm going to start with Seb over there
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and I'm going to have Seb power up his big light energy
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and I'm going to have Loz do the same thing
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and I'm going to cut back and forward between the two of them
0:07:26 > 0:07:29to build up some suspense.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32And then they are going to shoot the light across - like, that way,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and Seb is going to shoot it that way
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and they are going to join in the middle and then, kaboom!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Time to get on with it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Ninja move number two.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It's time to start shooting.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now, this animation uses a technique you might recognise
0:07:45 > 0:07:46called light painting.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And here's how it works.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51You set your camera to shoot long exposure.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Now it's time to turn the lights down low or off.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Take a photo by holding down the shutter.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You draw your picture with torches.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02The torch light leaves a trail on the final picture.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Also, I'm using a flash, so my models don't come out blurry.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Hai-ya!
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Hai-ya, ho!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ninja move number three.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And finally, it's time to do some editing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Well, I think it's time to take a look at our mini masterpiece.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57A spot of leftovers.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Hang on a minute -
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I've had an idea that will catapult this mealtime to fun-time.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Let me just quickly consult the old art reference book.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10HE COUGHS
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hello, Ricky. I am Leonardo.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17No way! I love all of your movies.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Er, no, that's Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I am Leonardo da Vinci.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24No relation.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I painted the Mona Lisa.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I also did the Vitruvian Man,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31who I look a bit like now.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I like to doodle invention.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I was also fond of making catapults.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Here's some of my work, now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Thanks, Leonardo. I'll let you get back to your book.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Argh!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I'm going to make a fun catapult game
0:09:48 > 0:09:50using some lolly sticks and elastic bands
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and I'm going to fling fake food into my big bitey mouth up there
0:09:53 > 0:09:55that I've made from an old cardboard box.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It has a hole cut out for a mouth
0:09:57 > 0:10:00and I've stuck on googly card eyes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'm going to start by taking eight large lolly sticks
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and binding them together with elastic bands.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15And just go round it as many times as you can, so it's nice and tight.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And do that the same the other side.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25There we are.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Now I'm going to grab another thick lolly stick and a spoon,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and I'm going to bind them together, as well, with another elastic band
0:10:32 > 0:10:34to create my kind of catapult flingy arm.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm just grabbing another large lolly stick
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and I'm going to put it the opposite side of my large block
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I've already made
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and my spoon flinging arm above that.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I'm going to bind these together with elastic bands again,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58but I'm going to go around it diagonally,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59once in one direction.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I don't want to do this bit as tightly
0:11:01 > 0:11:04as I have done the main block, too many times.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06If I do, it won't have enough movement or spring.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And, finally, to get that spring in,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13with one last elastic band
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm going to pinch these two ends together.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22There you go. My catapult is done.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Now I need to make some fake food to shoot from it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28I've got a piece of card
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and I'm going to draw my fake food onto it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Take a nice black pen.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm going to draw a mushroom and an onion.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Now I'm going to cut those out.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Now I've got myself some bottle tops
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and I'm going to stick my fake food on top of it
0:11:58 > 0:12:00with some double-sided sticky tape.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So, there is my fake food onion and my mushroom projectile.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, I'm going to need more food than this to feed my face,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15so let's make some more, ninja style.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Ah, yeah.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I've got some salami, a nice bit of red onion, my mushroom,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24tasty olives and my favourite, some pineapple.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Now it's time to play my catapult game.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Here's a free lesson.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37It's a great game to play with friends.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Now, where's Gav got to?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Gavin, you're not still playing that game, are you?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Must get game genius super-mega high score.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Repeat. Must get game genius super-mega high score.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52He's turned into a game zombie.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I must try and snap him out of it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58CYMBAL CRASH
0:12:58 > 0:13:00GROWLING
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It's Gavin's skateboard.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11PHONE RINGS
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Hi, Ricky. It's your mum.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Saved by the mum.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You probably didn't answer the phone
0:13:16 > 0:13:18because you're busy playing computer games again.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19No chance of that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Anyway, I thought you would like to know what's waiting for you
0:13:22 > 0:13:23at the next level of the show.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25There are rockets to race,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27things that will make you think
0:13:27 > 0:13:29and some very remote-looking art.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Anyway, I have to go.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I'm off paintballing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Time to show the WI who's boss.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I wouldn't like to be in Mum's firing line.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Take cover. These ninja apprentices seem game for some art.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Ricky, can you make art with an umbrella?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Have to take a rain check on that one.- Hm.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Hi, Ricky. It's Dodge and Hacker here.- How do. Now, Ricky,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- can you make something out of this?- Coconut man!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Er, sorry, not this time, Hacker.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Unbelievable.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- And you call yourself an artist? - Ninja?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Hey, what have these guys got?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Ricky, can you make art with a straw?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14That's more like it. I choose you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15BOTH: Yay!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17So, what are your names?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- I'm Poppy.- I'm Rose.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Nice to meet you, Poppy and Rose. Where are you from?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22- Sunderland.- Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Awesome. Well, art with a straw.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I think I'm going to use a straw to make art that's out of this world.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Just let me get my things.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm going to start by drawing a little window on this paper,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37cos I'm going to make a rocket.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38A nice little space porthole.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43I'm going to colour it in blue.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- I think it's kind of cool inside the spaceship, so...- Yes.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47..that's what I'm going to go for.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Then, with this tissue paper,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'm going to create flames so it looks like the rocket
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- is really blasting off.- Cool.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56When I've made this rocket,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59it's going to end up being a game that you guys can play.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You could both make rockets and maybe have a little space race game.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04So, I folded up this bit of tissue paper
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and I'm going to basically cut a shape into it
0:15:07 > 0:15:09so that when I unravel it, it looks like flames.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm just going to fold up this other bit of tissue paper.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Guy's, what do you think's faster - a ninja or a rocket?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- The rocket.- Yeah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22HE GROANS
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Flames there. I could really do with some sticky tape.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Do you guys have any?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- BOTH:- Yeah. - I could grab it using ninja skills.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Ninja skills.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34HE RIPS TAPE
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Let's turn it over. I'm going to stick the yellow bit down first.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39This is going to make it look like the rocket's going super fast.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I'm just going to roll round this piece of paper,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and sticky tape it together.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46This is going to make the body of the rocket.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Just going to cut a couple of slots into the top...
0:15:51 > 0:15:52of my rocket.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That's going to help me stick it to the nose cone.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I've just drawn round a plate
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and cut out a very thin piece of card here,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03and I'm going to cut a quarter out of it to make my nose cone.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm just going to roll that cone round, like that,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12and then I'm going to stick it down with some sticky tape.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Et voila.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm going to put some sticky tape on the inside of my rocket,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21just so the cone will stick to it nicely.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Slide the nose cone on,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30and I've got my hand inside to push all the sticky tape out.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I think the rocket could do with some fins
0:16:32 > 0:16:33that stick out the side, you know?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Help its aerodynamic-ness.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So I'm going to draw a couple of fins on here.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Cut those out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- So do you guys like doing art? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Have you got any pictures there you've done?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51There's a one that I did when I was younger - a lot younger.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- I like it!- Me mam's friend's dog.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That looks awesome!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm just folding the edges of the fins over
0:16:58 > 0:17:01so I can sticky-tape them to the side of the rocket now.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Now I'm going to take... trusty straw,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and I'm going to stick it along the back of the rocket.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I bet you guys were wondering where the straw would come in.- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17There you go, the rocket's pretty much done.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- What do you think. BOTH:- It's cool.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's going to be even better when it's flying through the air.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23That's why I have some cotton here,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and this will work like the rail that the rocket shoots along.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'll be right back - just going to go and tie it off.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31There you go, tied it off,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and I need to thread this through the straw.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's easy if you tie it to something heavy.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'm using a cocktail stick in this case,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39just to pull the cotton through.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41'I've already tied the other end of this cotton
0:17:41 > 0:17:43'to something on the other side of the room.'
0:17:43 > 0:17:45That's the rail that it's going to fly along.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Rockets need an engine, and I'm going to be using a balloon.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57OK, think it's ready to fly.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Hey, here we go...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01BALLOON RASPS
0:18:01 > 0:18:04# Sky-high I'm, I'm sky-high... #
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yeah!
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- It worked! BOTH:- Yeah!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09What would you guys give it out of ten?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- BOTH:- We give it a ten!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14That's for your suggestion, it's been brilliant. Bye-bye!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- BOTH:- Bye!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Try making two of them and race against your friends.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Don't mind me, Gav(!)
0:18:24 > 0:18:27If you're going to play games, I'm going to watch TV.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29'Hey, you there!'
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oh, not him.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33'Would you like people to know what you're thinking
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'without telling them?'
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You wouldn't like to know what I think of you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- 'I knew you'd think that, and here's what- I'm- thinking.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43'It's my thought bubble hat.'
0:18:43 > 0:18:47I know you want one, and here's how you make it...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Take some paper...
0:18:50 > 0:18:51and a pencil,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and draw a large bubble...
0:18:58 > 0:18:59..and a smaller bubble...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03..and cut that out.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Lovely.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Take a piece of black card...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14place your white bubbles on top,
0:19:14 > 0:19:15and stick them down.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Cut them out with some scissors,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28leaving a border of about a centimetre.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Snippy, snippy.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Now take some glue...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38..and stick the smaller bubble to the larger bubble.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Mm, sticky!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Cover your thought bubble in sticky back plastic.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Cut off the excess.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52'Bubbly!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54'Now take a strip of cardboard'
0:19:54 > 0:19:55that fits around you head.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Perfect.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Take an old pencil and stick it to the back of your bubble.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07This will help the thought bubble stand up.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Turn it over and stick the front of the pencil
0:20:12 > 0:20:14to your cardboard strip.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18There.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Now take a longer piece of coloured card and cover over the pencil.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Smooth.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Now with tape, stick it together to make your headband.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Now I just need to write what- I'm- thinking.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49'The thought bubble hat -
0:20:49 > 0:20:51'not available in the shops.'
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- At least, I think it's not. - DING!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Here's a quick art tip of how to draw a character jumping.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I've got a diving board in place already -
0:21:03 > 0:21:05he'll spring off of that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I'm going to start with his head -
0:21:06 > 0:21:09it's going to be leant-back a little bit...
0:21:09 > 0:21:10cos he's jumping through the air.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Eyes looking forward. He needs to be pretty pleased with himself.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18That's not important for jumping, but I like him to be happy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21His hair's going to be blown-back...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23as if he's jumping through the wind.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Now his body...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'm going to put his arms up, diagonally,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30coming out from his shoulders.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32He's throwing his weight up in the air.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36And some shorts.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43And I want his front foot facing up...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and his back foot is going to be facing down -
0:21:45 > 0:21:48he's just sprung away from it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Put a couple of wobble lines around him
0:21:50 > 0:21:52to show the action,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54and then some speed lines coming away from his back,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57showing the direction he's jumping in.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59There we go - quick art tip.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Come on, jump to it and have a go yourself.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Gav, you can't still be playing that game.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Come on, give it here.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Nope. - HE GRUNTS
0:22:20 > 0:22:26At last, the game genius super-mega high score will be mine.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Aw, it's out of charge.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29No!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- But there's nothing else to do. - What about the skateboards?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Oh, I'm not that good on mine.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Too many computer games, mate.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Come on.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46TOY BARKS
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Ninja skills!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53HE WAILS
0:22:53 > 0:22:55CRASH!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Hey, Sarah. What have you got there?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59A remote control fluffy toy dog, obvs.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01YIP, YIP!
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Looks cool.- I know!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05See, Gav? Playtime without the screen time.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07So what else have you got?
0:23:07 > 0:23:08All sorts, I found them in my old room.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I thought you might like them.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Wow. Sarah, you literally
0:23:13 > 0:23:14had ALL the toys.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17ROAR! These old toys are fun, but I think
0:23:17 > 0:23:19they have a different destiny -
0:23:19 > 0:23:22they can help us make some amazing art. But first...
0:23:22 > 0:23:23we better get our ninja on.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29THEY WHIR ROBOTICALLY
0:23:29 > 0:23:30BEEP, BEEP
0:23:30 > 0:23:32WHIR!
0:23:32 > 0:23:33ROBOTIC: Art Ninja.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Ready?- Affirmative, Art Ninja.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40We've got a canvas,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Sarah's old remote control toys... - Yeah!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- ..and a tonne of paint.- Sweet.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Let's make some art.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53# You might see me in a Lambo
0:23:53 > 0:23:55# Camo snapback, Rambo
0:23:55 > 0:23:57# 500 horses, Django... #
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oh. All right, Sarah, if you can grab the car,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01we need to get some paint on the wheels.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03We'll use it to paint nice lines down the middle.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04OK, cool.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07# Anywhere I go, I make the gang go... #
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I'm going to have to go quite slowly so I get a nice line.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'll just help guide you, mate.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16You can be like my sat nav.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Sat Gav?- Yeah!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- ALL:- Yeah!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Right, Gav, grab the car. Sarah, bring your paint tray.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Let's take it up a notch.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- OK, Sarah, put some more green paint in there.- OK.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Gavin, hold the car...- OK.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35..and we're going to stick this roller on the back -
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- it's going to drag it along. - Oh, nice, I see.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Look at that - it's a great texture.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54That's looking great -
0:24:54 > 0:24:57but, guys, I think it's time to get prehistoric.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01ROAR!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05ROAR!
0:25:08 > 0:25:10RICKY: No?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, we're going to need some darker paint
0:25:12 > 0:25:14to put on the bottom of this dinosaur's feet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18THEY CHUCKLE
0:25:18 > 0:25:20That's amazing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Not fast, but amazing.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Cool, guys. We're not going to be
0:25:28 > 0:25:30using the remote controls any more,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32we're going to go hand-held - a bit more analogue.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Erm, Ricky, what's this going to be?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Well, I don't want to give it away,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but let's just say it'll have plenty of horsepower.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50TOY WHINNIES
0:25:50 > 0:25:52My horse laughs in the face of your digger.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59To get the more detailed bits and a bit of a blend,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I've gone down to just using a tyre.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15And that's it, guys.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18We've made a thoroughbred picture using remote control toys.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- That looks awesome. - I love it, it's great.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31But you know what? We should get back.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- HE SCOFFS - It's all right for you -
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- I crashed my skateboard, remember? - Oh, mate, you did.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39This picture gives me a great idea for a new mode of transport for you.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Saddle up, mate.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42HE EXHALES
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Giddy-up!
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Don't push your luck.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Turns out Gavin was a demanding jockey.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Today has taught me a valuable Art Ninja lesson.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Not getting a high score is not a shame when you can turn
0:27:13 > 0:27:16art into one giant game.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18It's been a great day, today...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25..and I really enjoyed making that remote-controlled art...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Don't worry - I think he's ran out of power.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38That should do it. Switch him back on...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41HE BEEPS AND WHIRS
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Gavin, what are you doing in my bedroom?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Just changing your batteries. - I run on batteries?!
0:27:46 > 0:27:47HE GASPS
0:27:47 > 0:27:49HE SCREAMS
