[quote=Anonymous]When my son took art in high school (so the grade mattered) and started getting C’s. I asked him what was going in and he said the teacher didn’t teach. He would explain for 5-10 minutes what he wanted and then had students work independently. I was skeptical but his friend who actually is a good artist said it was true and only the students who already knew how to do art would get A’s.

So I sat down with him and we watched YouTube videos of the art assignments. I found ones very similar to his assignments on shading, drawing 3-D figures, etc. 
He would practice and I had fun drawing with him. Then he would practice again and get better, then he did a final third one. I had him label them 1st try, 2nd try, 3rd and he turned all three tries in. The teacher then clearly saw he was trying and there was improvement and started giving him A’s.

I think when he was really pressed for time he may have turned in one of my drawings as the second attempt but clearly labeled his last drawing as his final try. [/quote]
