This is Ohio. She doesn't looked pleased, does she? That's because she hates her art. She doesn't think it's coming out well. The thing is, she's never likes her art work, even though she is constantly improving. She continues to work on it which is a good thing. Never give up. This is Parker's, He lives in his sketchbook. He makes amazing illustrations but I think it would be cool if he would get out of his sketchbook once in a while. Maybe turn one of these amazing sketches into a finished illustration? I'll give you some illustration board... Danielle is fearless. She worked on this fox painting and it was pretty much done. However, the background was painted a flat color. Danielle said she wanted to paint something in the background because people would look at the painting and say, 'oh its a fox' and that would be it. So, even though it was technically done, she decided to paint feathers in the background. Here is the fox with feathers ... still in the works. Nyssa made this etching. Then she made one print and that was it. Nyssa, the point of an etching is that you can make multiple copies. But Nyssa is drawing hands.. I mean working on body proportions... i mean finishing her elephant design.. I mean working on a stippling project.. I mean.... Tiffany is painting a dreamscape. She second guesses herself sometimes.... always. There is no need. She makes great decisions. Move forward boldly Tiffany. You got this. Olivia had been working on this elephant painting since 1974. Just saying.
Here at The Art of South Brunswick High School, NC, we incorporate the Teaching for Artistic Behavior or TAB philosophy in our classroom. TAB states that the student is the artist and the art room is their studio. We believe students should be involved in the entire artistic process including designing, creating, and reflecting on their work. It is our job as teachers to present ideas and concepts, demonstrate techniques and materials, and encourage and support our students to create and produce works of art at the highest level.

It's not Teen Angst. It's Artist Angst: Your own art always sucks. The one thing I make a point to tell beginning artists is that you never get past thinking your artwork falls short of your creative intent, no matter how many years you practice. Even when you achieve what others might call technical mastery, you never really reach the goal of attaining the perfect image you see in your head. Either that reality defeats you, or you learn to say "Hey, this isn't perfect, but you know, it's not that bad, either."

As an artist I have felt and done all those things. Art shows who we are if we are putting ourselves in our work. This is what art is suppose to be about. At this age most of us are insecure, wanting perfection but don't know how to achieve it, having a hard time following through and stay focused. Art development and human development are connected. #1 needs encouragement from her peers. #2 just needs to be left to do what he loves instead of trying to change him. #3 Doesn't like simplicity and her work reflects that and so on.
