The best art critics




I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many

people pretend that they understand modern art. They

always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course,

many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just

pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we

like pretty curtain material. 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?'

She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all

right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'

I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

Didn't spend too much time on this. And I intentionally read faster to see the difference.

Thanks for listening.
