0:00:05 > 0:00:07It's a new day.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I better get my ninja on.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11And my clothes.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's great when you make art that truly flies.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I know! I'm going to make...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The Art Ninja Superhero Kite!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Pants worn over trousers - optional.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm going to start by getting some old plastic bags.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47With a pair of scissors, I'm just going to cut off the handle.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Do away with that bit. I'm just going to cut off the side seam here.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Don't need that either.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And now, I'm going to cut this into strips.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Two thin strips, let's say about two centimetres.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03And some wider ones, about four centimetres in width.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Now, in order to make the fabric for my kite,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I need to cut these other coloured bags into strips, too.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10So, I'm going to use my ninja skills.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12There we go, lovely.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, I'm going to take one of these strips
0:01:14 > 0:01:17and, using masking tape, we're going hold it onto the table.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Now I'm going to take another colour and stick this one down,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and try and make sure that they're butted up against each other
0:01:23 > 0:01:24without any gaps.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I'm using different widths, and I haven't really got a system
0:01:27 > 0:01:30with the colours - I'm just going to put them down in a random order.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But I'm making sure that the same colour doesn't meet.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Now, I'm going to stick these together
0:01:40 > 0:01:42with some long strips of Sellotape.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47If you find it tricky using one long piece of sticky tape,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50you can always cut it and use a few shorter pieces.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54I'm going to peel it up.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00There we go. And my lovely piece of material, ready for my kite.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, for the kite's frame, I'm using some skewers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I've chopped the sharp end off - I don't need that.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Now I'm going to tape pairs of them together to make longer sticks.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I want to make sure they're stuck together tightly,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and give the kite strength.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Now I'm just laying them down on top of my fabric, and I'm going
0:02:16 > 0:02:21to put my second length about a quarter of the way along my first.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now, with a pen, I'm just going to mark where the skewer's ends are.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29A little dot. Get this out the way for now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And using a ruler, I'm going to join up those dots.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now I can cut out my kite shape.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I want to take my time here because I don't want to ruin my fabric.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43There you go. Do away with this bit.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Now, I've got this wonderful kite shape.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'll put my frame back onto it... like that.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And with a little bit of sticky tape, I'm going
0:02:50 > 0:02:52to tape down the frame to the corners.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm just folding round the edges to make it nice and tidy.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00There we go. That is the main body of my kite.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03HE MAKES PLANE NOISES
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Now I need to add some string in order to fly my kite.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So, for that, I'm just using some cotton thread
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and a large lolly stick.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'm just going to tape one end onto the lolly stick,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15then I'm going to wrap the thread round.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18There we go. That should do it for length.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Snip that off.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22So, I'm going to thread it onto a needle.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24If you're going to try this at home,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27you might want to get an adult to help you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm going to stitch this where the skewers cross.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Just make a little X pattern there for strength.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Now just tie it off.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, there's one last thing I want to do, and that is to add a tail.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41And this will keep it stable when it's in the air.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I've taped lots of pieces of plastic together to make a long strip.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49It's six times the length of the kite, which will help it fly.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Just going to tie it to the bottom bit here.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56There you go.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'm going to create some powerful art you can see straight through.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's going to be a stained-glass rocket.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And I'm going to start by just drawing myself a guide image.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So, I'm just going to draw around a pot here to get a nice round shape
0:04:17 > 0:04:20for the planet. Some rings round the planet.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, it's going to be like Saturn.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Don't need to be too neat here, this is just going to be a guide.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Draw the rocket up here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's like an eye shape.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31A couple of boosters.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34A little flame trail going all the way round to the rings.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38And I'm going to pop a star down here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Using a ruler, I'm going to give the star a nice starburst.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Here we go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I've got an old picture frame,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and I'm going to take out the back, because we won't be needing that,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and hang on to the actual frame itself.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And then this bit of plastic is going to be my stained-glass window.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I still need to be careful here,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01because the plastic can still be a little bit sharp.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Pop it down on top of my paper,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04and just tack it in place so it doesn't move.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I've got a little bit of paper now to slide underneath, just to keep
0:05:09 > 0:05:12my table nice and clean because we're about to use some paint.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I've got black acrylic paint to go over the lines,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16as it sticks to the plastic.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm going to take my time with this so that the lines
0:05:19 > 0:05:20are all the same width,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24and this black is going to be like the leading between the colours
0:05:24 > 0:05:25on a real stained-glass window.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33OK, that needs to dry, so I'm going to mix up some colour.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We're going to mix the paint with some glue.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37A lot more glue than paint.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40This is PVA glue I'm using, because it sticks to the plastic better,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and PVA dries clear, so it looks like
0:05:42 > 0:05:45an authentic stained-glass window.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The PVA does make the paint look a little bit lighter,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49but it will dry darker.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53There we go. Now, I move on to my next colour.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54A little bit thirsty, though.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh, no!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59The coffee nearly stained my stained-glass picture.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Oh, hi, Ricky.- Who are you?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I'm a designer and architect famous for Art Nouveau,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10which is highly decorative.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I also designed furniture and stained-glass windows.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What do you think of my stained-glass picture?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Since I added an A to my surname, Mackintosh,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'll give you an A plus.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Look out Charles - here comes a damp cloth.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Right, I'm off. Bye!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, that cleaned that up.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, now I'm going to bring in some more colours.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36A little bit for the fire.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Now for the rings. A nice pinky colour. Of course, it will dry red.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And I'm going to paint the starburst...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46..alternating between blue and purple.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Right. Now I need for that to dry,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52but I'm going to use my ninja skills.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56There we go. Check it out.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And where the glue's dried, the paint looks darker.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00And I'm going to pop it into my frame
0:07:00 > 0:07:02with the side that I've painted facing up.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Make sure you secure it with sticky tape. Great.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I'm going to go and pop that in the window.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And when you hold the picture up to the window,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17the light shines through, giving you a lovely stained-glass effect.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24This dude's also off to a flying start.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Ommm...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I'm OK, man.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Greetings, dude!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Greetings, Grandmaster.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Step number 1066 to enlightenment...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43..flying object of many folds.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Get yourself some memo notes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Take one and fold it like this...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52..corner to corner, into a triangle.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Bottom point up to the top corner.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Make three more of this colour, dude.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Grab some different colour memo notes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Pink!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Fold four of these the same way.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13You need eight to make a circle, dude.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Take one of each colour.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Put the big point of one inside the small opening
0:08:20 > 0:08:23of the other.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Repeat with all of them, alternating the colours until you have a circle.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Make it stronger with pieces of sticky tape.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Kablamo!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40A flying object of many folds!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Lesson number 1066 complete!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Thanks, Grandmaster. - You are most welcome.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Ommmm....
