Meow! Hello, my name is Arty. What is your name? Timmy? (your child's name) Oh, I know you. I've heard a lot about you from your cat( dog, stray dog) I'm absolutely delighted to finally meet you in person. Wait, do you know who I am? Yes, I'm a cat, but I'm not just a cat. I'm the cat. The cat who is in love with art. What is art? It's a good question. It's hard to explain. Art can be many things. It is born when a person wants to express themselves and create something. It can be music, a dance or a painting. And I am crazy about paintings. How come? Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I will tell you my story.⠀
⠀
My journey began one cold, rainy and gloomy night in autumn. I was just a kitten who had lost his family. I was running around calling my mommy. I was so sad and devastated. There were puddles everywhere and people were passing by, trying to hide from the pouring rain. They didn't seem to notice me. And then out of the blue, all sky was lightened with a flash. People started running and I heard a terrifying clap of thunder. I was so scared! I was trying to hide but there was nowhere to run. Everything was covered with water. Suddenly I saw a light, it was an open door. I rushed, as fast as I could, to that disappearing crack of light! ⠀
⠀
The thunder outside continued, so I found somewhere to hide and shut my eyes tight. The door closed, it was quiet and warm inside. I was exhausted, so I fell asleep almost immediately. I woke up from stroking. Somebody was petting me and talking to me in a soothing voice. I opened my eyes. And there she was, the coolest human being I've ever met. She had soft hands and kind eyes. That’s why I wasn't afraid. She put me in her lap and I worked up the courage to look around. I saw another woman who was looking at me from some kind of window. Man, she was strange. She didn't have eyebrows, so I couldn't understand whether she was surprised or angry. She just kept staring at me. It scared me, and I tried to hide again.⠀
⠀
But that kind human who had found me started laughing. She explained that the strange woman was just a picture, a painting to be exact. It was painted many years ago by Picasso and now it's in a museum. Yes, the door I had run into was a door of the museum. What is a museum? Well, It's a place where you can see different art objects like paintings for example. How do I know all this? Oh, It's a long story. That nice human who now takes care of me is a custodian of this museum. She knows a lot about Art, artists and colours. ⠀
⠀
From that very first day we spend all our time together. She told me stories about different paintings, we used to pretend to be heroes of those pictures, it could be a battle, or a sea storm and we were brave soldiers, or sailors. I really enjoyed playing, I did my best trying to listen to her, giving me the important information, but, you know, I was just a cheeky kitten after all. Wait, I did listen once. Once we got into an Art Workshop, where we painted together! Well, she was painting and I was just running around leaving my colourful paw prints everywhere. But now I know everything about colours and how to mix them, cool, right?⠀
⠀
But there is a reason why I'm telling you all this. Soon it will be the birthday of the most important person in my life! And I really want to find a present which will make her happy. And you know, if you want to make somebody happy, you should think about things they like, people they admire. My human is really fond of art, artists and paintings. That is why I decided to create my own art gallery. I will become an artist and create my own art gallery with her favourite paintings. I'm going to paint them myself, because, you know, what can be better than a present made with your own hands? Oh, paws, of course. ⠀
⠀
You think it will be hard to paint with paws? You might be right. ⠀
It can be hard to hold a brush with them, but I will try. If only there were someone who could help me. Hmmm.. Wait, come to think of it, maybe you can help me to create an art gallery. Will you? Oh, it's so kind of you. You are the second best human I know. ⠀
Let's not waste time. We have a long journey ahead. ⠀
First of all, I'll tell you everything I know about colours. Because without colours, there will be no paintings.⠀
After that, we'll need to learn everything about her favourite artists, so we can paint like them. And the last step is the creation of our own masterpieces. ⠀
Isn't it great, the art awaits!
