Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids

You Gotta Have Art (8x14)

Air date: Dec 01, 1984

Fat Albert and the gang notice their new classmate Leola drawing at the junkyard. At school the following day, they find she's a talented artist and Fat Albert invites her to decorate their clubhouse with some of her work. When the rest of the gang arrives later, they disapprove, with Rudy in particular, criticizing the changes she made. Leola overhears him and runs off to the docks to sketch on her own. But after the gang find her sketchbook, they see her work is very good and look for Leola so they can apologize. When they arrive, she runs off again, but nearly falls into the ocean. Rudy rescues her in time, complements her work, and helps redecorate the clubhouse, but overdoing it where some of Leola's work is obstructing the doorway.
