[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really all you can do is ask to meet with the teacher. A C- for art that is technically meeting all the criteria seems overly harsh. [b]Not everyone is an artist[/b].

Fwiw, MS art made my kid swear he'd never take another art class. And this is a kid who loves drawing and is quite good at it. He's just very slow to get to the finished product, which didn't work for the teacher's expectations -- so he'd rush to finish and miss items on the rubric.[/quote]

This is what gets me - I tend to agree with you, but the teacher insists everyone can be taught. But he doesn't lecture on technique, just demonstrates for five minutes and lets them at it. A math teacher would never get away with that.[/quote]

As an artist I have to agree with the teacher. The thing about art is that doing well involves tons of practice. If you think about it, you had to learn to draw in order to write letters and numbers and how you learned was a demonstration followed by lots and lots of practice until you get good at it.

I am not a school teacher but I do teach a lot of people. And the single thing that holds people back is their own fear and trepidation. Second issue is the reluctance to practice.
