Question
Read the following passage:

Lydia often struggled in her art class. Ever since she was little, she hoped to become an incredible painter. Yet, every time she tried to paint anything she would often create a mess of paint splashes on the page rather than the centerpieces of fruit her teacher would display. Lydia started to feel saddened by her lack of progress. One day though, her teacher took the entire class to the local art museum. At first, Lydia saw the beautiful works of Monet and thought to herself that she would never be able to create such clear images on a canvas. A few rooms later, however, she then began to see the works of Picasso that contained images of abstract paintings that were just like hers. She quickly realized that art doesn’t have to all be the same for people to appreciate it.
