Contrarian view: Art class for the sake of art is useless.
This is a bunch of art teachers talking. Kids nowadays find 'analog' art class to be a waste of time, but their creativity is obviously evident in other areas (digital is only one area). In magnet / charter and private schools, the "art" requirement is being fulfilled with CAD, drafting, 3D design, modeling (like architectural stuff) and "new media" technology. All hands-on stuff.
This dope is trying to teach art off of Powerpoint slides and giving written tests rather than a practical exercise... her lack of self-awareness is the problem.
Source: I have kids that tell me exactly that. There are maybe 2-3 in each of their grades that are good at drawing and like art class. The rest would rather stick sharpened #1, 2 and 3 pencils in their eye.
I tend to agree, what good is a Powerpoint in an art class? Show them how to make something, let them make it themselves. What is the point of written tests? It's art class, it's basically pass/ fail. Do they actually try to make art or goof off?
