    Debbie...excellent advice! I know students who had teachers who "helped
    out" their work and the students thought they were "excellent
    artists"...however, when they went into art in college, they couldn't do
    "doodly squat" on their own...and many ended up dropping out of art. This
    kind of teacher does NOT help their students...they just want to make
    themselves look good. They are NOT doing the students a favor by doing
    this.
