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]
hello

this book to you and ooh ah i know

so leona did you find any inspiration
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
