Emily's blue period

by Cathleen Daly

After her parents get divorced, Emily finds comfort in making and learning about art. Emily wants to be an artist. She likes painting and loves the way artists such as Pablo Picasso mixed things up. "When Picasso was sad for a while," says Emily, "he only painted in blue. And now I am in my blue period." It might last quite some time.
