- She's an actress, singer, dancer,
and a real nice person too.
Please welcome Shahadi Wright Joseph!
(cheering)
- Hi Elmo. Hi Cookie. Hi Mari.
- Hi Shahadi. Oh! Elmo has a very
important question for you.
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Does Shahadi have a favorite craft?
- Yes, I do.
- Oh! We can guess what it is!
Maybe Shahadi can sing a song about it!
- Oh yeah of course!
You take a little paper bag and draw on a face.
You put your hand in the bag and talk all over the place.
- Oh oh oh a telephone!
- Oh, so close, but it is a craft.
- Is it a paper bag puppet?
- Yes it is!
- Elmo likes puppets! Go figure.
Okay you two, today's topic is arts and crafts!
So today, you get to make art!
You'll create a painting of that bowl of fruit.
- Actually it's a bowl of fruit and a cookie.
Yeah. We thought that added a nice artistic touch.
Okay artists, take your places at your easels!
- There's just one more thing!
Your paint brushes are really long.
- Uh-oh.
- You have until the buzzer to complete your paintings.
Ready, set, paint!
Here we go! We're getting a really good start here.
Got a lovely little orange circle.
Shahadi's starting with the basket.
That's a nice basket.
Different techniques, different styles.
Very interesting.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
(buzzer)
- Time's up!
- Alright! Let's look at your paintings!
Oh very nice colors and shapes.
And Elmo loves the basket on yours.
Let's see the winner is--
Both of you! It's a tie!
Because there's no wrong way to do art.
- Yeah, Elmo's right and cookie look delicious.
- Cookie Monster! Please don't eat the art.
