#### Transcript We’re famous artists, yes famous artists: Paul Gaugin, Edward Hopper and Van Gogh (Oh.) Pablo Picasso. (I thought so.) (I know ya! How are ya?) We're definitely people you should know ... Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Wolleh. The names just keep on coming and we haven't got all day! We’re famous artists... Renoir! Famous artists. Au revoir! Monet, Da Vinci, Pieter Bruegel (Don’t pinch me!). Some people think we’re geniuses. Some people think we’re weird. (But, weird, what do you mean? Weird is a relative term). Toulouse-Lautrec, Vermeer, Basquial, (And please don’t touch my beard!) Andy Warhol, Jacob Lawrence, Jackson Pollock too. I’m afraid we have to go now, so we’ll just say Toodaloo! And if you think we’re slightly messy it may be slightly true! But that my fine young viewer, will be up to you.
