Post by bunniefuu »

hey now

hey wow

here's how

come and read

between the lions

[Music]

between the covers

[Music]

between

[Music]

pablo the artists

[Music]

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can

hold on much

longer

to pass the time cliff has decided to

paint a picture

i've been staring at this blank canvas

for days i just don't know what to paint

if only my artist friend pablo were here

he would help me dream up an idea

wait i know

i can read a book about pablo maybe that

will inspire me

pablo the artist

by satoshi kitamura

the members of hoof lane art club were

excited there was to be an exhibition of

their work and everyone was busily

painting

except for pablo

it was his dream to have a picture in an

exhibition but now he stood in front of

an empty canvas

arms folded looking troubled

he had painted flowers in a vase a

portrait of his friend

and even an abstract painting

yet nothing looked right

i think i have artists block

why don't you go out and paint a

landscape or something for a change

good idea in my view a good landscape is

the next best thing to a self-portrait

perhaps you're right i'll give it a try

[Applause]

so the next morning pablo woke up early

and traveled out into the country

[Music]

after walking for some time he found a

lovely view

a tall oak tree with a stretch of green

woods in the background

this will make a beautiful landscape

pablo worked all morning by noon he had

painted the tree and some background

it looks all right i think at least it's

a start it'll get better after lunch

pablo had brought a big lunch box with

him huh an elephant cannot live by art

alone

after the meal

he felt drowsy so

he decided to lie down for a short while

in no time at all

he was fast asleep

[Applause]

[Music]

in the landscape a sheep was walking he

saw a canvas on an easel in the middle

of the field

a painting how interesting

but even as he admired it the sheep felt

there was something wrong with the

picture i know it's the grass it looks

completely tasteless

[Music]

he picked up a paintbrush and painted

the grass a delicious bright green

a squirrel saw the painting and stopped

a picture she cried and looked at it

curiously

but soon she realized something was

missing no nuts no nuts i see no nuts

so the squirrel picked up a brush and

put nuts on the tree

a bird flew down and peeked at the

painting if you want my opinion it's

hopeless

no bird could split its wings in such a

bleak sky

he took the brush in his beak and built

up the sky with a brilliant blue

the next to arrive was a wild boar

she glanced at the canvas and stopped in

her tracks

this won't do at all where's the shady

green groove that i live in how could

the artist have missed it and she added

some darker green strokes to the horizon

[Music]

[Applause]

a swarm of these came

[Music]

the painting looked much better now

while the animals the bird and the bees

were admiring the result a wolf strolled

up

he took a long hard look at the canvas

hmm

that's really cool guys but it can be

even better you know stand all together

in front of a tree and keep very still

this won't take too long

then he picked up a paintbrush and

started to paint

[Music]

when the picture was finished they

gathered around to have a look

they were surprised by the way it had

turned out and applauded one after

another

gosh this is wonderful gorgeous

i'm impressed you're brilliant mr wolfe

buzz buzz genius

then they made their way home and

disappeared

pablo woke up and yawned

what a strange dream

and what a beautiful painting

now i know exactly what to do

he rushed back to his canvas and started

to paint

[Music]

when at last it was done

pablo packed up his things and made his

way home

when the exhibition opened pablo's

painting was the star of the show and he

was the toast of the town it's wonderful

gorgeous i'm impressed

you brilliant pablo

genius

for pablo it was a dream come true

the end

and that's the end of the story

excuse me

excuse me

can

hold on much longer

you know what's even better than reading

about art

having it actually hanging in your

library

oh i love that

i don't get it oh

what don't you get sweetheart well

who actually painted this picture was it

the sheep

was it the wolf

are you as confused as i am

pablo painted it right after he woke up

from his nap he was just painting what

he saw in his dream

the dream inspired him

oh

oh oh

oh

i get it now napping can lead to great

art

well not just napping

lots of things inspire artists like

taking a walk or visiting a museum or

listening to music or napping oh oh

we already mentioned that one day

yes

hey

we should try some of those things and

see what we get inspired to make

on your mic

get

hmm nice

hello everybody please welcome my guest

hi mom

what's coming up on between the lions

well let's see joy

there's finger painting and other kinds

of painting

and there's a worm that paints too

finger paints by lillian moore

finger paints are cool as mud

mud that's red or blue

they squish

and squash

and slide

most any way i want them to

i can squeeze a bump of green

or swish it up and down

or make it stop right on top of a humpy

hill of brown

if someone says

do you tell us dear

what does your picture say

i swoosh the picture all around

and make it go away

art can be a lot of things

a landscape is a drawing or painting of

land

so you wouldn't do a landscape of the

ocean that would be a seascape

a still life is a painting or drawing of

something that doesn't move

in the real world

you can do a portrait of people

you can paint or draw your dog you can

make a portrait of a giraffe you can do

a self-portrait of yourself a

self-portrait can only be yourself art

can be a lot of things sculpture

paintings animation

whatever you want

short story time with artie smarty fans

[Music]

yep i was looking at some more art and

it inspired me to paint a painting

[Music]

a lamb chop

that is so strange

i was listening to music and i got

hungry so i was inspired to paint this

a lamb chop

weird leona cleo yeah you'll never guess

what i was inspired to create

oh i think we know what it is a painting

of a lamb chop no

not quite uh when i was napping i had a

dream that i was actually preparing lamb

chops

oh my daddy is a true artist inspiring

[Music]

this is your announcer bunny next a boy

named mateo has very big dreams thank

you

dream carver

[Music]

dream carver by diana cohn illustrated

by amy cordova

mateo lived in a small village in mexico

[Music]

every sunrise mateo joined his father to

carve little toys

which they sold at village fiestas

mateo and his father carved tiny pigs

cats dogs and goats

carving so small they could fit in the

palm of a hand

mateo's sister and mother painted the

carvings in bright bold colors

mateo loved the village fiestas because

those were the only times when there

were so many delicious things to eat

he feasted on turkey with black mole

sauce and drank hot chocolate until his

belly ate

in the days between the fiestas mateo

learned as much as he could about all

the animals he saw around his village

he watched how his herd of goats

stretched their necks to drink water and

how jackrabbits darted this way and that

across the fields

whenever mateo sat under his favorite

guajitri a parade of these animals

pranced through his imagination

the goats were as pink as bougainvillea

with cactus green speckles

and the jackrabbits were cloaked in

orange capes with red and white flames

someday i'll call all these animals to

life

one morning mateo told his father about

his dreams

[Music]

i see animals so big and so bright that

i will need to carve them with a machete

i want to make them my way instead of

making the same hogas we carve over and

over

why should you carve differently when

for hundreds of years it has worked for

us to carve the way i taught you

but mateo couldn't stop the animals from

creeping and crawling through his dreams

one night a dazzling golden rose-colored

jaguar called out to

and you will find the power

and strength you need to carve

all your dreams

so the next morning mateo carved

miniature who get this as he had always

done

but in the afternoon he snuck away and

cut a giant branch of fresh green wood

from the coppalio tree and peeled it

with his machete

with a few bold machetazos he tried to

carve the mighty jaguar that had been in

his dreams the night before

but it looked clumsy

why don't you come out the way i want

you

to but mateo kept carving until finally

one day as he carved the kitsap the

iridescent bird of the rainforest the

wood peeled off like feathers

mateo sanded the bird smooth and then

took out his paintbrush

he painted the bird turquoise and orange

with yellow dots sprinkled across her

breast

he painted her long feathers in bright

green and black stripes

at last he had carved an animal from his

dreams to life

now the carving came easier

when matteo imagined a white

polka-dotted squirrel or an

orange-striped gazelle or a black and

yellow spotted frog bracing to spring he

could carve them all just like that

[Music]

one day mateo looked at his animals and

wondered what his father would think of

them

would he be surprised would he be angry

the next fiesta was dia de los muertos

day of the dead the perfect chance to

display his carvings

[Music]

mateo could barely sleep but in the

early dawn mateo finally fell into a

light sleep

very softly he heard a raven call out to

him

you have nothing to fear your dream

animals are with you

that morning mateo laid his carvings

down on the main street for all to see

when the children saw matteo's carvings

their eyes lit up

they began to name them and to play with

them as if they were alive

the noisy chattering crowd surrounded

mateo and bought one carving after

another

finally when all the bustle and clamor

began to calm mateo felt a gentle hand

on his shoulder

when he turned around

he saw his father's beaming face

mateo it's time for you to teach me a

new way to carve papa

i saved my favorite carving of all for

you

and mateo picked up the kitsal

and placed it in his father's hands

the end wow those animal carvings really

inspired me yeah me too

hmm um lionel yeah what's inspired me

oh well

inspired means that those animal

carvings make me want to try and make

something too
