A math teacher could never get away with transferring a student out of class because they showed no aptitude - they must teach the math. <br /><br />My dad was an art teacher by the way. He TAUGHT students how to make art.<br /><br />So - kiss your teachers gently on the cheek, escort them through the door - then brick it up and get to work. You CAN learn to draw unless you keep believing them and saying "can't."<br /><br />Start at the beginning. I have a tutee in the links page about the beginnings of drawing a face. It's very much like math.<br /><br />:-)Lyrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341146111158826868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-63578833169596731062012-04-20T10:51:16.346-04:002012-04-20T10:51:16.346-04:00Wonderful work.

In answer to your question, I'm a frustrated artist -- I paint by number, sew, do needlework, crochet, but I can't draw. Yesterday, inspired by some doodling on a blog, I tried to at least doodle. One of the things I tried to do was a face. Ugh!<br /><br />The answer for me is quite simple: my 8th grade and 10th grade art teachers, both of whom told me I had no talent and I shouldn't even try to draw, do art work, etc. The 10th gr teacher transferrred me out of her class w/o my approval, agreement or any further discussion.<br /><br />BigAlexandrite Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658113925509952175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-46646081814091319552012-04-20T07:48:29.731-04:002012-04-20T07:48:29.731-04:00How did you know I was afraid of faces?

I like the junk paper idea. I'm going to take my junk mail and cut the envelopes and anything else usable into the same size and use them.landscapeladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171710172237668286noreply@blogger.com
