   Art researchers have found a hidden painting of a man under one of Pablo Picasso's masterpieces,The Blue Room.By using infrared(红外线的)imagery they discovered that the hidden man under the painting was a man with his face resting on his hand.Now the question that scientists at the Phillips Collection hope to answer is simple.Who is he?

The finding of the hidden man in The Blue Room leads to new research about the 1901 painting,which was created by Picasso in Paris at the start of his blue period of unhappiness.Researchers discovered that the hidden man was painted in a reworked composition by Picasso.They are sure that it is not a self-portrait. They think it might be the Paris art dealer AmbroseVillard who hosted Picasso's first show in 1901,but there's no record or evidence to prove this,so the research continues.

Hidden pictures have been found under other important Picasso's paintings,such as la Vie and Woman roning.A technical analysis of La Vie at the Cleveland Museum of Art also found that Picasso reworked the painting's composition.And scientistsfound a portrait of a man under Picasso's painting Woman lroning at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.

Dorothy Kosinski,director of the Phillips Collection,said more new knowledge about Picasso's paintings can be discovered through high-tech cooperation(合作)among museums. "Our audience are curious about the high-tech research because it can help them know more about the paintings. It's giving them a doorway to make them understand Picasso's paintings more, " she said." The more we can understand,the greater our appreciation of the paintings will be."

   The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students will be much smarter if they have some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.

Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (一群可能肇事的年轻人). Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.

Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.

In a word, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
