26.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!


26. I always think that young children can appreciate modern arts more. Some people like to give a modern picture meaning to show that they understand it. In truth, it is just beautiful patterns that don’t convey anything at all. As an art student, I usually paint a lot. My seven-year old sister always tells me her opinion on the pictures I paint. There was one day; she even told me I hung a picture upside down!
