 READING

I’m a great art lover. I look at beautiful paintings and sculptures and wish
I could be artistic. I can’t draw or paint to save my life. I wonder why
some people are so talented and can create amazing pictures, when
other people, like me, can’t even draw good matchstick figures. I would
like to fill my house with art from all over the world. It’s interesting to see
how different cultures have different kinds of art. There’s nothing better
than visiting art galleries when you go to another country. I prefer more
traditional art. I don’t really understand a lot of modern art. I look at an
exhibit of a pile of bricks in a museum but can’t see how it’s art. I always
laugh when my children say, “Daddy, I can do better than that!” I often
think they can.
