I Wish I Could Draw Exactly More Like You Charlie and Lola

THEY GIGGLE

Charlie!

Lola?

Charlie!

Oh! Oh!

THEY LAUGH

I have this little sister Lola,

she is small and very funny.

And she's a very good drawer.

My picture is of summer.

My sun is all yellow... Oh!

Or maybe it's a big flower...

with ladybirds and bumble bees.

Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz.

My picture is of a house.

Oh, that looks a bit like a slide.

Maybe if I was a ladybird,

I could slide down it.

Wheeee!

Ha-ha-ha!

Here, look. I'm very good at drawing houses.

-I want to do it.

-We all have to do a house, Lotta.

That's what Mrs Hanson said.

I can't wait to do my house.

Charlie, Charlie, we have to draw a picture of our house

for open visiting school day.

-Everyone in the school has to draw one.

-Oh, I'm good at drawing houses.

-I'm going to put Sizzles in my house.

-Come on.

We live in a high-up house, Marv lives in a high-up house.

But his house is slightly different from ours.

There are all sorts of different houses.

-There are round houses...

-Wow!

-..very tall houses.

-Oh!

They are tall.

-Some houses are built on stilts.

-Wow!

Moving houses...

and even houses made out of boats.

-Ooh-ooh!

-Keek!

And I live in a house house.

Lots and lots of fluffy things.

-I'll use this here.

-I'm doing a cutting out and sticking picture.

I'm just sharpening my pencil.

I like it all pointy.

Stick, stick, stick.

Can you pass that pencil?

And glitter!

Oh! I need it more pointy.

I'll just sharpen it again.

That's better.

Are there any more magazines?

Dad's got lots of old magazines and newspapers in the sitting room.

I'll show you.

I need it more pointy - like a mountain.

-I'll sharpen it again.

-Look at my potatoes.

They're for the windows. Pch, pch, pch.

And lots of leaves.

Oh, I need to make my pencil more pointy.

Lots of houses and buildings.

-You can cut them all up and stick them on.

-Yes.

Here's a dog, but it's not a sausage dog like Sizzles.

-Maybe I can make him look like Sizzles.

-Eh?

-More windows.

-LOTTA HUMS

-Blue sky...

-Now it is much pointier.

Ah...finished.

All done.

Oh, this is really good, Lotta,

but it doesn't look like your house.

Because your house has lots of flowers on the outside.

Hmm. Oh, yes.

And your door is not in the middle. It's sort of near to the edge bit.

Ah, oh, yes.

And your house is sort of yellowish.

Hmm, maybe I'll start my picture again.

My pencil needs to be pointy again.

Oh! Haven't you started yet, Lotta?

I'm still thinking how to do my house.

I just want it to be exactly like my house.

Very exactly.

-OK.

-LOLA HUMS

Maybe I can draw a home like yours.

You can if you want,

but your house isn't all the way up like mine

and it is all yellowy.

Hmm, I know.

The walls are all straight.

Oh, no! They are not all straight.

-Oh!

-The walls don't have to be...

completely exactly straight like your house, Lotta.

They do.

-Oh.

-Oh.

A ruler! This will help me be unwobbly.

Up there.

Ah! I'll colour it in now.

All yellowy.

Like this one!

Oh, no!

The yellow's all run out

and my house is all yellow.

-Oh!

-Oh.

Your picture doesn't have to look exactly like your house.

Wait there.

My picture doesn't look exactly like my house.

-Here.

-What's that?

Macaroni.

Macaroni!

It's all yellow.

But my house is not made of macaroni.

But it is all bumpy like macaroni.

Yes, but you said my picture had to look like my house.

Lotta, there are lots of different ways to do houses.

This is a book of Dad's of all different artists.

Look at this one.

It's by an artist called... van "Goog".

I think it's van Gogh, Charlie. Look, the house must be really old

because it's fallen down and wobbly.

Wow! Oh! Everything does look all very wobbly.

And you can tell what kind of day it is.

It is a very windy day.

You can see all the clouds swirling around

and the trees are all swirly too.

And look - the paint is really thick.

Oh, I like using lots of paint.

I like this one.

It's by Cedric Morris.

It's full of roof tops.

And chimneys!

It's a bit like looking out of our house...

because we're so high up.

Sometimes I like to wave to people in the window.

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Hi, Charlie!

-Woof!

-Hello, Sizzles.

Oh, it looks a bit like a comic.

The painter's done lots of little blue lines for wallpaper.

And the carpet is made out of dots.

-Who did it?

-Somebody called...

-Lichtenstein.

-Oh!

-And everything is very neat.

-Two lamps...

-Two pillows...

Sizzles, drop it!

And two bedside tables.

Ah! Ah!

Oh! Not very bouncy.

Our bedroom is much more messier than his.

We should tidy it up. Tidy, tidy.

-Oh!

-And who painted this one?

It's by Henri Matisse.

Oh! This room looks a bit like our house.

There are lots of patterns.

Patterny walls, patterny floors,

patterny table!

Oh! He'd like my patterny dress, wouldn't he?

-Yes, he would.

-Oh, look!

Even the things out of the window look like patterns.

I do like it.

Maybe I will do my house in macaroni

because the walls are all bumpy...

..and the roof is all wobbly because my house is very old.

Oh! And I have got a chimney!

And curtains with lots of patterns.

-I'll cut this out for you.

-Glue it, glue it, glue it.

Here, have this crayon, Lotta.

Now I'll draw the chimney. Chhh...

Make the roof all wobbly...

Wo-o-o-o!

-I like that one.

-That one's really good.

-Oh!

-Oh.

Look at mine.

Wow!

That's really good.

I've never seen aliens outside our house.

-THEY GIGGLE

-Yours isn't bad, Charlie.

Oh, look, mine!

Well done, Lola.

Oh, Lotta, that does look like your house.

because it is very...

..wobbly.

Well, that is because it was a very, very, very windy day.
