Yesterday, my son came back from school , told me that he lied to his teacher that he didn't bring his art supplies which he did. I asked him why. He said that he doesn't like art lessons because he doesn't know how to draw nor color. Furthermore, his classmates always laughed at his "lousy" drawings.
I know that kind of feelings. When I was in school, I was frequently laughed at. Even my Art teacher snickered and mocked my drawings. So, I taught my son how to draw penguins. He realized that drawing isn't difficult if you imagine with creativity. Penguin is alike a peanut shell, I told him that. Just add in the eyes, flippers and a triangle beak, the penguin is done.
Kids really need confidence and guidance, not mockery or sarcastic remarks from the teachers or classmates.
Don't you think so?

@peachpurple It's not a nice attitude, in our days I know they could not do something like this.

Teachers should be
encouraging kids not mocking them
or allowing others to mock them.
My friends son used to have a book on
how to draw animals and cartoon characters.
It was based on the same idea as your penguin.
Start with a circle or a oval etc then built up to
adding all the details in easy steps. Something
like that could maybe boost your sons confidence!

problem is Malaysia school teachers do mock students drawing and exam results, furthermore they allow other classmates to do so. That is so frustrating

@peachpurple That is a
horrible way to teach!! If a teacher
mocked me my response would be
" of course I'm useless you taught me"

Unfortunately teachers and fellow students don't realize that they are hurting them and in turn they loose their confidence.. that's really sad.

kids need to be confident, Parents and teachers should build this confidence in them. We should keep on motivating them ,than criticizing them.After all they are kids, we should not break their self confidence ,and let them down...
