0:00:05 > 0:00:07Time to get my ninja on.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08And my clothes.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Breakfast time.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Eurgh! Brown flakes?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Hopefully, there's something more interesting up here.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Aw, yeah!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Flying saucer sweets. I forgot I had these.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I'm going to make a Venus flytrap to stash my sweets in.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The Art Ninja Venus Flytrap. It's totally sweet.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm going to do that by blowing up a balloon.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Perfect. Tie a knot on the end.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I've got a bowl here to hold the balloon still
0:00:57 > 0:01:00while I cover it in a layer of paper-mache
0:01:00 > 0:01:04That's two parts PVA glue, one part water and some old newspapers.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You want to get a good coverage all the way round,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12all the way down to the bottom.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Just leaving the little knot sticking out.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23You don't have to be too neat, because all these creases
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and crumply bits will add to the final texture.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now, if you're doing one of these,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29you'll probably have to do a few more layers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And wait for it to dry. But me? I'm just going to use my ninja skills.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Nice.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Now the paper-mache mix has dried nice and hard,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and we no longer need the balloon to hold its shape,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42so we can pop that now.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Now I'm going to draw a line around the balloon,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51just below the halfway mark.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Then I'm going to draw some wavy lines for the teeth.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06And the same along the bottom.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'm going to poke a hole through the paper-mache with a pencil
0:02:09 > 0:02:11so that I can get my scissors in.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16These are going to make the jaws of my Venus flytrap.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Nice. Now I'm going to chop the teeth out.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, we have the top and bottom all finished.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36But this Venus flytrap is going to need a stalk,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and we're going to make that using a cardboard tube.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm cutting slits down the side
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so that it's easier to secure to the paper-mache.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52This is a very sticky piece of art.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Great. Look at that. It's on - nice and solid.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Now is probably a good time to paint the inside.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yeah!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Now I've done the inside of the mouth,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11it's time to do the outside of the plant.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Ye-e-ah! There it is. It's all those greens.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You can see now how all that rough newspaper
0:03:20 > 0:03:22comes through as really nice texture.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Right, I think that's all done.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Now, if you're doing this, you'll need to wait for these to dry now.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34But I wait for nothing. I'm the Art Ninja.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Also, here, added a little bit of detail with some lighter paint.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Bringing out the texture.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43A little touch around the edge of the jaw,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and some spots and dots on the underside of the jaw.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've punched through some holes in the top and bottom of the jaw,
0:03:48 > 0:03:53on each side, so I can slide in some split pins and give it a hinged jaw.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01This guy's looking pretty good now,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04but he could do with some foliage, so let's add some leaves.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Right, all his foliage is on.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16It's time to pot him, and I've got here a little pot of rice.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And now you get your Venus flytrap...
0:04:20 > 0:04:21..and get him in the pot.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Now, he's looking good, but I'd take sweets straight out of that mouth,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30so he needs something to work as a deterrent
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and I reckon some nice big teeth.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Oh, yeah. Nice sharp gnashers.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I've made these out of white paper.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And how about this?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Little tongue and added fly.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Looks good. Bet he's definitely worked up a hunger.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Put your sweets in.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10You don't have to make a Venus fly trap to store your sweets.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13How about some lovely colourful flowers?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- So, what have you got for me today? - A pizza base.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I don't think I can do anything with an actual pizza base,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28but maybe the bit of polystyrene that comes underneath it in the box.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I can do some art with that. I've got loads of those lying around.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Here we go. I've got my polystyrene pizza base.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Wow!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42And I'm going to use it to make a print of a goldfish bowl.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So, I'm using a pencil to push the lines into the pizza base.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52And these impressions won't be printed when I roll paint over it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54They'll come out as white lines.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I've drawn my fish, but now I'm drawing a couple of little reeds.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- OK, guys, do you want to see it so far?- Yeah.- Yes!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16OK, here it is.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17- Ooh!- Fish.- Fish!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19In a fishbowl.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The nice circular thing makes it into a fishbowl.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- But now is the cool bit, yeah? - The cool bit.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I've got with me some paint and a roller.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Put some blue paint into it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33You need quite a lot.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You'll have fun when you do this.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Right, here we go.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm just getting the roller all full of the paint.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Here we go.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I'll start rolling it on. I'm just rolling it round now, over the fish.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Just being a little bit careful here not to go over the edges too much.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Get it all over the top.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm doing it in the kitchen, as well,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58so the surfaces are pretty easy to wipe clean.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Make sure you put something down on your surface
0:07:00 > 0:07:02when you have a go, though. OK, guys, I've got it all nice
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- and covered.- We want to see. - I want to see!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm not going to show you yet. I'm going to print it then show you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Aww!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Right.- Printing, printing, printing!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Push it down. Make sure the paint comes off. Turn it over, as well.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I'm going to rub it on the back.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Just to make sure I've got all the shape and the whole picture.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- OK, guys, we're going to peel it off now.- Drumroll, please!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Have to be quite quick, otherwise the paint dries to the paper.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Ah, yeah!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think you are going to like this. You ready to see it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Yeah!- OK, guys. What do you think of this?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- That's awesome.- That's amazing.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Just give it a little frame.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Great bit of art.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00My fishbowl picture made on a pizza base. See if you can top that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Thanks very much for your help today. Bye-bye!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Bye, Ricky!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I can finally eat.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Do you know what? You can do art everywhere. Check this out.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Now, there you are, my cupcake ballerina.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50You can do something equally as tasty.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now go to the website and get your ninja on.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Art Ninja!
