Hi,
I have to laugh and agree with Fran's remark about teachers praising what
they like! I took a painting class from a locally very famous painter.
Unfortunately, he was so impressive, that all his students' work looked like
his! To this day, when I see someone's work in a local exhibition, I can
tell if that person was the student of this teacher!

I love this discussion about the tight painter. I was always a "loose"
painter, also with my drawings and was not praised as much when in school as
those who were more rigid! HOwever, taking classes after college, some other
instructors were more complimentary. It is funny that sometimes we praise
what we are like??maybe?

> Hi, just my two cents here. I am a lurker and a newbie hs art
teacher(just have time for the digest). I too have many very "tight"
emerging artists, and I let my students paint in their "own" style (whatever
that is this week). BUT, I make sure that they select (objects to render)
purposefully and meaningfully. They must also do a thumbnail sketch and
clear it with me. In that discussion we talk about compositional choices
ala the elements and principles. I will not let them paint or draw just any
old thing "because it's there" and then just stop because they "ran out of
paper". I stress composition and prior planning, then they can render it in
whatever "style" they feel comfortable with. Respectfully and with much
thanks for all of the great ideas and advice, Ann Hamil
