FULL DESCIPTION:
From the first images painted onto the walls of caves we'll head to Chris Ofili’s work with elephant poo (always a favourite). On the way we’ll discover the most stolen painting in history, how Picasso and Dali found innovative ways of paying for things without using money, the horror of painting people smiling, and see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Renaissance Artists help a lady in distress. Sort of.
SKETCHES:
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Renaissance Artists
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Renaissance Artists' skills aren't much help when it comes to stopping a mugging. Parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Stone Age Art Gallery
A caveman tries to impress his date with some good cave paintings at an old art gallery, but the first paintings seem a bit too realistic for his date.
HHTV News: Phidias and Greek Statues
Swill Gumbitz discovers the surprising true colours of ancient Greek statues after a bad start with the Athenian he means to interview.
Giottobox
Giotto's more realistic paintings and perspective are getting people talking on Giottobox.
Vigge Le Brun's indecent painting
Vigge Le Brun causes a stir when showing teeth in her portrait and one man tries to scare her away from her racy idea.
Tips for Artists No. 19: Chris Ofili
Chris Ofili shows off a rather messy (and smelly) way of painting.
Joshua Reynolds
A look into Joshua Reynolds' studio, where his celebrity paintings are giving him quite a lot of attention, so much so he is becoming one himself with the girls.
MasterPiece
Picasso and Dali show off their way of paying for things with MasterPiece

Parody of MasterCard
Rembrandt's Jacob de Gheyn
Filming for The Security Guards is continually interrupted by the repeated theft of Rembrandt's Jacob de Gheyn.
20th Century Artists
Some of the most famous 20th Century artists meet together in an art class, but the teacher doesn't approve much of various artists' styles of painting.
Trying to recognise a Jackson Pollock painting
Jackson Pollock doesn't seem to like a collector's attempts to buy his works, nor the fan’s ability to judge a splatter of paint with Pollock’s abstract art.
Historical Educating: Salvador Dali
The class gets quite confused by Salvador Dali's surreal approach to art and weird ways of life; despite his rather edible CV.
Tips for Artists No. 54: Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol seems to think green pants are the key to success.
SONG: Hello, it’s a Me
The Mona Lisa sings about her life from painting to phenomenon, through famous faces and attempts of robbery. Leonardo Da Vinci sings about how he spent his time trying to perfect the portrait which is now the world’s most valuable and well-known painting of all time, with quite a history.
