0:00:02 > 0:00:05GONG!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Time to get my Ninja on...
0:00:07 > 0:00:08and my clothes.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28There's nothing an Art Ninja likes better than playing pranks.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Gav, see if you can get what shadows I'm making with my torch.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35OK, mate.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Aw, that's easy. That's a bird.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Yeah. How about this?
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Whoa!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Whoa, that's magic!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Not really. It's a cheeky template I cut out.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Aw, you little...!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52BASH!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54CRASH!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- BOTH:- Ricky, Ricky, Ricky!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59It's the Ninja apprentices!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Ricky, can you make art with a jar of jam?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Mm, sorry, it's a bit of a sticky subject.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- BOTH:- Ohhhh.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hi, Ricky.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's Nero from the 4 O'Clock Club.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Oh, hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Another CBBC peep trying to get in on the act.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Quick question - can you make something out of a tape dispenser?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Not today, I think you should be getting off to your own show.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Come on!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hey, what's this guy got?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Ricky! Can you make art with an old sock?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30All right, I pick you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Yeah! - What's your name, dude?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Olmo.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Nice to meet you, Olmo. And where you from?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Bristol.- Ah, yes!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39So, art with an old sock.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm going to make a fake plaster cast you can fool your mates with.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Yay!- I'll just go grab some bits. - OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- So, I've got myself an old bottle here.- OK.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And I'm going to carefully chop the top off.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I've taken off the lid cos that way it's easier to squeeze and
0:01:53 > 0:01:54then I can cut it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59This bit can be a bit tricky so get an adult to help you.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01There you go, take the top off.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Just going to chop the bottom off as well.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Again, just squeeze at that to get my scissors in.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- I'm just going to cut all the way down the bottle now.- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Which means I can change the size of it so it can fit me properly.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Let's just make sure.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Right, I put my arm in.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21A little bit of overlap, it's pretty good for mine.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23So, now I'm going to stick that and that point together,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25just using some masking tape.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29You can use regular tape but I've just got masking tape to hand.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'm going to put some masking tape on the inside too
0:02:34 > 0:02:37so the join doesn't scratch me when I've got it on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40There you go.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Now, I think I'm going to cut a little
0:02:42 > 0:02:44U-shape for my thumb to go through.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- OK.- Then it looks really authentic.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'm going to put a little bit of tape round the top of this U there
0:02:53 > 0:02:54so the plastic doesn't scratch me.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's just safety stuff.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And I'm going to do the same all the way along the top and on the bottom.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02What would your dream art project be?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Hmmm, a ginormous cardboard castle.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07A massive cardboard castle. Would you live in it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Yes!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Would you live in it alone or would you invite friends over?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Mm, invite a few friends. - Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Here we go.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I've got some cotton wool here and I'm going to stick it round the
0:03:18 > 0:03:20top and the bottom, and around the thumb hole,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22so it looks like a real cast.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Just like that to the edges.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Then I'm just going to tape it over with some masking tape.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'll do the same at the bottom.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- There we are.- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40It's looking pretty good.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I think it's time to use the sock. - Yay.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Ptoo!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm going to chop off the toes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51And then I'm going to chop it again,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54just before the material changes pattern.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55So, after the heel.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Now I'm going to slide it over the bottle.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02A great use for a stinky old sock.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07So, it covers up all the tape.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's really starting to take shape now.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11So, my thumb's meant to go through here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm going to make a little hole for it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17There we go.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Aw, yeah, that's looking really good,
0:04:21 > 0:04:22but it doesn't feel very good at the moment.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Think it could do with a bit of stiffness to it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28So, I'm going to cover it in a layer of PVA glue.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29So, just start pasting it on.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Really get it on nice and thick.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38The PVA will make it stiff like a real cast.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, I need to wait for that to dry or I could use some ninja
0:04:41 > 0:04:42skills, what do you think?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Ninja skills!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Yeah, ninja skills.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Right, Olmo, cast your eyes on this.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52So, it's dried, rock solid,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55and look, I've got all this artwork drawn on it.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You can even get your mates to draw on it without the pain of
0:04:57 > 0:05:00hurting your arm. What do you think of it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It's awesome, Ricky.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04What mark would you give it, other than a scribble, of course?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I give it ten!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ah, yeah!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Great suggestion, Olmo.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Thanks, dude. Bye-bye.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Why not try and prank your mates with a fake cast?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Skateboarding is thirsty work.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Hey, dude. How about this to wet your whistle?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Aw, thanks, bro.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40VROOM!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41- Whoa!- Whoa!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Thought my cup was going to take off.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45No, it's just an animation.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47A plane awesome one.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50To make this sweet cup animation, you'll need...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52plastic cups, some paints,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56a permanent marker pen and a tablet with animation software.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And you can make this animation in just three ninja moves.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Ninja move number one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Decide what you're going to animate. I'm going to do a little red plane,
0:06:06 > 0:06:07so I need to grab my cups and my pen.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'm going to start drawing my separate frames round the
0:06:14 > 0:06:16outside of one of the cups.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22That's my first frame and I reckon I can get one, two, three,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25four more round that, so, five frames in all.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I'm going to change it ever so slightly.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31So, the body of the plane stays the same but I'll have the wings
0:06:31 > 0:06:33level out a little bit.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm drawing my plane freehand but you could use a stencil.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44There we go. I'm going to paint that red.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm using acrylic paint here
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and it's great because it's very opaque and gets a good covering
0:06:50 > 0:06:51on the plastic cup.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ninja move number two.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Now it's time to paint my mid ground and my background.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Now, my mid ground's going to be clouds, so, I'm going to take
0:07:01 > 0:07:04another one of the plastic cups and get a bit of white paint.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Clouds are done now. I'm going to move on to the background and that
0:07:10 > 0:07:13one's going to be an all blue cup.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15You can add extra clouds to it, I'm going to keep mine plain.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm going to mix up a bit of paint.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24There we go, nice blue cup.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Let's leave those two to dry.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'm adding outlines to my clouds and birds to my blue sky.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Ninja move number three.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, now it's time to start shooting the animation.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39So, I need to put my cups within each other so I have a background,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42mid ground and a foreground all working together nicely.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Now, the technique we're going to be using is called parallaxing.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47You know when you look out of a car window as you're driving along,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50objects very close move very quickly and objects in the distance
0:07:50 > 0:07:53move very slowly. The background is going to move a tiny, tiny amount,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56the mid ground's going to move more and the foreground plane's
0:07:56 > 0:07:58going to move a whole frame each time.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Take the first frame.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02CAMERA CLICKS
0:08:14 > 0:08:17OK, I've added some sound effects and I've compiled my movie.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I think it's time to take a look at our mini masterpiece.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24PLANE ROARS
0:08:28 > 0:08:31OK, guys, what do you think of the animation?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Good work. - I'll drink to that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Now go to the website and get your ninja on.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Art Ninja!
