　　Visiting the masters

　　Hi Yang Yan

　　Here I am in Amsterdam. This trip has been fantastic①！ As you know, I am with my aunt and grandmother. They are both good artists, and I'm thinking about starting painting myself after I get back. Let me tell you all about our trip.

　　My grandmother really likes Picasso's paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever, so we started in Spain② and went to the city of Málaga, the birthplace③ of Picasso. Near the house where Picasso was born is a museum full of his art. Málaga is a lovely city and the architecture④ is beautiful. I was amazed to learn that Picasso had an output⑤ of more than 20,000 pieces of art. He did not just paint, but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media⑥. He experimented with⑦ different styles of painting, but was most famous for his work in Cubism⑧， which often uses acute angles⑨ and where the world is represented as⑩ being constructed of cubes⑪ and rectangles⑫.
