Lesson 26
The best art critics
I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. (1)______________________. They always tell you what a picture is "about". Of course, many pictures are not "about" anything. They are just pretty patterns. (2)_____________________. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I"m hanging this picture on the wall," I answered. "It"s a new one. Do you like it?"
(3)____________________. "It"s all right," she said, "but isn"t it upside down?"
I looked at it again. She was right! It was!
