Visit to an art exhibition

Recently my family persuaded me to go to an exhibition of artworks by ¹_______ artists. My sister Jeanie is quite talented, but I don’t really have a clue about art. My previous ²_______ of going round art galleries was of looking at endless pictures of landscapes and fl owers, so I was expecting something similar. On the contrary, I started to quite enjoy myself looking at the modern artworks, and being told what it all meant by my sister. I ³_______ a long time looking at one picture of a flower growing in a broken vase which represented an improving relationship.

As I got more into it, I ⁴_______ that the various pictures ⁵_______ the theme of the exhibition very well, which was ‘people together’. A local artist was actually present, and was doing a little teaching workshop for anyone who ⁶_______ to learn.

She asked if asked if anyone would like to come and ⁷_______ , saying she needed one more person to help her. After a little thought, my sister ⁸_______ her nerves and volunteered. Jeanie said she learnt a lot and couldn’t wait to get home to try out some of the techniques.
