Once upon a time, there was an artist named Jane. She loved to paint in a style called abstract expressionism, which was very different from the more conventional styles of painting. But some people didn't understand her art and thought it was just a bunch of squiggles and smears.

One day, Jane decided to enter her painting in a contest. The judges looked at all the paintings, but they didn't understand Jane's. They thought it was an inaccuracy, and they didn't give her a prize. Jane was very sad.

But then, a kind old lady came to Jane and said, "I may not understand your painting, but I can see how much passion and emotion you put into it. And that's what art is really about."

Jane smiled and thanked the old lady. She decided to take her painting and turn it into a beautiful tapestry. She wove the colors and shapes together, and it became a stunning piece of art that everyone could enjoy. From that day on, Jane was known as the tapestry artist, and her art was loved by many.

The end.

Reflections

1. What kind of art does Jane love to paint?
2. Why did the judges not give Jane a prize in the contest?
3. What did the old lady say to Jane that made her feel better?
4. How did Jane turn her painting into a beautiful piece of art that everyone could enjoy?
