This trip has been fantastic! As you know, I am with my aunt and grandmother. They are both good artists, and Im thinking about starting_1_ (paint) myself after I get back. Let me tell you all about our trip. My grandmother really likes Picassos paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever, so we started in Spain and 2_(go) to the city of M laga the birthplace of Picasso. Near the house where Picasso was born is a museum full of his art. Mlaga is a lovely city and the architecture is beautiful. I was amazed 3._ (learn) that Picasso had an output of more than 20,000 pieces of art. He did not just paint, but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media. He experimented with different 4 _(style) of painting, but was most famous for his work in Cubism, which often uses acute angles and where the world 5_(represent) as being constructed of cubes and rectangles. Of course, even though Picasso was Spanish, he left Spain while he was still a young and 6_ (struggle) artist, and settled in Paris, France. So, after 7_(visit) Spain, we went to Paris. During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum, where we saw the Mona Lisa, 8_(paint) by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. He created this work between 1503 and 1506. I was really impressed by this picture of a lady with a 9_(mystery) smile. By popular consensus, this is the most valuable painting in the worldit is 10_ (possible) to calculate what price it would fetch if it ever came on the market. Step2语法填空1_ being a painter,da Vinci was also an architect, scientist and engineer. He designed many new inventions, including a primitive form of a helicopter and a tank. Besides the works of da Vinci, the Louvre Museum has more than 6,000 other European paintings, 2_ (rang) from the 13th century to the 19th century. It doesnt have any modern paintings in it, however. Modern paintings are all kept at the Monet dOrsay. We went there on our second day in Paris 3._ my aunt was eager to see the works of Claude Monet. Monet was a French painter 4._ lived between 1840 and 1926. His paintings were typical of a style called Impressionism. With Impressionism, the painter abandons the idea of representing things exactly 5_they look in a photograph, but seeks to show movement and the feelings of the moment, through the use of colours, light and shadows. Monet loved to paint outdoors, and almost never used a studio. 6_ when he was younger he painted a wide variety of subjects, when he was older he most often painted the water lilies floating on the surface of the pond in his garden. Yesterday, we went to the Van Gogh Museum, here in Amsterdam. Van Gogh was also a member of the Impressionist Movement. Altogether, he painted about 800 oil paintings and did 1,600 drawings. One of his most famous oil paintings is The Potato Eaters, which he painted in 1885. Among his works, my favourite is Starry Night, 7_ he completed in 1889. Unfortunately, although van Gogh committed his whole being to painting, he received little reward for his effort. His younger brother, Theo, 8_(act) as his agent, tried hard to sell van Goghs paintings, but could only sell one painting, for 400 francs, before van Gogh died in 1890. Today, van Goghs paintings are worth upwards of millions of dollars each. Tomorrow we are off to another museum in Amsterdam. The most famous paintings there are by Rembrandt. He lived from 1606 until 1669. My aunt really wants to see a painting of his 9_(call) The Night Watch, 10_ was painted in 1642.Ill tell you more about my trip when I get back.
