Speaker 1: Hi, Cawie, wear, are your hands so purplely?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: That's purple?
Speaker 2: Faate, I just vanished the new picture.
Speaker 4: Can I see it?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Hey? So dry and hear this? I call it fancy
Speaker 2: flying alphabets.
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 2: Wow, it's kind of weird weird.
Speaker 5: Welcome to Storytime Bi Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating
Speaker 5: facts about the world around us and the fun of
Speaker 5: play learning.
Speaker 4: Join us as we learn about how it feels.
Speaker 5: When someone criticizes your artwork or anything that is important
Speaker 5: to you. Is it possible to be honest and kind
Speaker 5: at the same time.
Speaker 4: Join us to find out. In today's episode.
Speaker 2: Lisa, why'd you call my picture weird?
Speaker 1: You will because it is weird? Elements don't fly, Cowie mind?
Speaker 1: And also why are they purple? Every elephant I've ever
Speaker 1: seen is gray.
Speaker 2: I like purple. It's my favorite color. Hi cowy Ooh,
Speaker 2: nice picture. Those ants are so cute ants all yet
Speaker 2: they are not ants. They're elephants.
Speaker 4: Huh, that's weird. They look like ants to me.
Speaker 2: Ants.
Speaker 3: Jumping Billy says you should add more ants and some airplanes.
Speaker 1: And don't say that to me. None of you understand
Speaker 1: my art Cowie.
Speaker 5: It sounds like you're feeling upset about the way your
Speaker 5: friends are talking about your art.
Speaker 1: I am they're being mean. Hey, I'm not being mean.
Speaker 1: I'm being honest.
Speaker 4: Lisa. It is good to be honest and tell the truth.
Speaker 5: But I think you hurt Collie's feelings when you criticized
Speaker 5: her artwork.
Speaker 1: Oh but I didn't mean to.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what critter size means.
Speaker 5: Criticize means to say what is wrong with something or someone.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Kelly, I didn't mean to criticize.
Speaker 1: I like your art. I just thought it was an art.
Speaker 2: Thanks Elliott. I guess if I squish up my eyes,
Speaker 2: they do look a little like ants.
Speaker 5: Billie says he thinks it's fine without the airplanes. He
Speaker 5: just got excited.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not sorry. Collie asked me what I thought,
Speaker 1: and I told her, Am, I supposed to lie.
Speaker 5: I don't think you have to lie. Not everyone likes
Speaker 5: the same kind of art, and that's okay. It's more
Speaker 5: about the way you say it. Lingo, kids, listeners, can
Speaker 5: you think of some tips to help Lisa to talk
Speaker 5: about Cowie's art in a gentle way. You can say
Speaker 5: one thing you like about it, great idea, like what well.
Speaker 2: I really like the way the elephant trunks tool around
Speaker 2: the page, Thanks Elliott.
Speaker 5: Billy says, you can ask questions like if you're confused,
Speaker 5: you're curious about something.
Speaker 1: I guess I could do that.
Speaker 5: And sometimes if you take a breath before you say anything,
Speaker 5: it gives you a little extra time to think about
Speaker 5: how it will sound to the person.
Speaker 4: Who made it. Do you want to try again? Lisa?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Callie. Why did you choose to make the
Speaker 1: elephants purple?
Speaker 2: Well, I just had a feeling in my heart and
Speaker 2: purple is my favorite color. And also it makes the
Speaker 2: elephants feel fancy.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 4: Now, I get it.
Speaker 1: Fancy flying elephants cool, But.
Speaker 4: I never thought you could paint them in purple.
Speaker 2: That's what I like about art. I can make it
Speaker 2: however I want.
Speaker 5: Billy says it would be boring if everyone painted elephants
Speaker 5: the same way.
Speaker 4: I guess that would be boring.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I would make my elephants and rowboats wearing baseball hats
Speaker 2: so they don't get souburn of course.
Speaker 1: I love that idea, Elliott. Elephants don't get sunburns.
Speaker 2: Lisa, Oh, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Might actually like to see that picture, Elliott, It sounds.
Speaker 5: Funny, Billy says. Famous artists make things how they want
Speaker 5: to their imaginations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you're an artist, everyone loves your art work.
Speaker 2: Artists are all super famous.
Speaker 4: Well that's not exactly true.
Speaker 5: Most artists are not very popular at the beginning, and
Speaker 5: they don't make a lot of money. They have to
Speaker 5: really believe in themselves, even if other people don't get it.
Speaker 5: In fact, some famous artists only became famous.
Speaker 4: After they die, really like ohoh.
Speaker 5: Freeda Callo is a Mexican artist who is now very famous,
Speaker 5: But when she was alive, she only had one solo show.
Speaker 4: Of her artwork. Now her paintings are in museums all
Speaker 4: around the world.
Speaker 2: Ali get so mad if no one wanted to see
Speaker 2: my artwork?
Speaker 1: Yeah, why did she even keep painting?
Speaker 5: Freeda Callo painted because she loved to paint, and because
Speaker 5: it helped her feel better. She said, I am happy
Speaker 5: to be alive as long as I can paint.
Speaker 1: Painting makes me happy too. Wow, it's hard to be
Speaker 1: an artist, it can be. But is it ever okay
Speaker 1: to say if you.
Speaker 4: Don't like something? Yes?
Speaker 5: I think if someone is asking for your opinion. It's
Speaker 5: okay to share what you think, but it's important to
Speaker 5: be gentle in the way you share it, especially if
Speaker 5: it's something important to that person.
Speaker 4: Maybe we can practice.
Speaker 5: That's a great idea, Billy says, we can practice with
Speaker 5: his latest creation.
Speaker 4: What is it, Billy?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Oh, it seems to be uh macaroni and cheese sculpture.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's what it is. Billy wants to know if
Speaker 4: you like it.
Speaker 1: It's very unusual. No, it's discuss hoops.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: Hold on, I'm.
Speaker 1: Going to ask a question. How did you decide on
Speaker 1: that material?
Speaker 4: Bill? He chose macaroni and cheese because he is hungry,
Speaker 4: like Tommy is rumbling.
Speaker 5: And Billy says, the best part about his sculpture is
Speaker 5: that you can eat it well. Lingo kids listeners, we
Speaker 5: talked about something tricky today, the difference between criticizing and
Speaker 5: giving opinions in a friendly way. We learned that we
Speaker 5: all like different things, but the way we say it
Speaker 5: to each other matters. Join us next episode to continue
Speaker 5: play learning together.
