Lesson26 The best art critics

I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art.

aɪ æm ən ɑːt ˈstjuːdənt ænd aɪ peɪnt ə lɒt ɒv ˈpɪkʧəz. ˈmɛni ˈpiːpl prɪˈtɛnd ðæt ðeɪ ˌʌndəˈstændˈmɒdən ɑːt.

They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything.

ðeɪ ˈɔːlweɪz tɛl juː wɒt ə ˈpɪkʧər ɪz əˈbaʊt. ɒv kɔːs, ˈmɛni ˈpɪkʧəz ɑː nɒt əˈbaʊt ˈɛnɪθɪŋ.

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.

aɪ θɪŋk ðæt jʌŋ ˈʧɪldrən ˈɒf(ə)n əˈpriːʃɪeɪt ˈmɒdən ˈpɪkʧəz ˈbɛtə ðæn ˈɛnɪwʌn

They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not.

ðeɪ ˈnəʊtɪs mɔː. maɪ ˈsɪstər ɪz ˈəʊnli ˈsɛvn, bʌt ʃiː ˈɔːlweɪz tɛlz miː ˈwɛðə maɪ ˈpɪkʧəz ɑː gʊd ɔː nɒt. 

She came into my room yesterday. ' What are you doing ?' she asked.

ʃiː keɪm ˈɪntuː maɪ ruːm ˈjɛstədeɪ. ' wɒt ɑː juː ˈdu(ː)ɪŋ ?' ʃiː ɑːskt. 

' I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it ?'

' aɪm ˈhæŋɪŋ ðɪs ˈpɪkʧər ɒn ðə wɔːl,' aɪ ˈɑːnsəd. ɪts ə njuː wʌn. duː juː laɪk ɪt ?'

She looked at it critically for a moment.' It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?'

ʃiː lʊkt æt ɪt ˈkrɪtɪkəli fɔːr ə ˈməʊmənt.' ɪts ɔːl raɪt,' ʃiː sɛd, bʌt ˈɪznt ɪt ˈʌpsaɪdˈdaʊn ?' 

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

aɪ lʊkt æt ɪt əˈgɛn. ʃiː wɒz raɪt! ɪt wɒz!
