+605 It's so dumb when teachers for academic subjects (i.e. english) assign art-related projects. If I wanted to take an art class, I'd take a fucking art class, amirite?

As long as you aren't being graded on the artistic portion and only the academic part, I don't see a problem with it. Lots of people learn better that way

my social studies teacher grades on how GOOD we draw.We have to draw well or we fail :[

Really? Well your teacher sucks, then. Because every teacher I've ever had has said it doesn't matter how well you draw as long as you show "sincere effort."

This is what my teachers do, too. Last year we had to do an art project and then write a paper for my English class and 80% of our grade was based on how well we did the art project. This is what I meant by posting this, but I guess I didn't make that very clear, did I?

I'd much rather do an art project for math then actually do math...

not as good when they're combined :I

Personally I love when they do that because it's so much easier for me to express myself through drawing, so when it's for something like English I get a much higher grade because I can get so much more across than if I had to write. And I learn better that way when it's for Social Studies or something.

Yeah, but the subject is English, innit? The point is to learn to get your idea across through words. I think it's unfair that someone can get a good of a grade as I can when they draw a picture in a certain subject, but they get a better mark than me in art because I can't draw.

I've done comics for English, so it still includes words, but it's easier and more fun to do than an essay.

I like projects. As long as we're given at least 1 weekend, and the artistic part isn't graded. I'm an awful artist.

You're only saying that because you have no creativity.

i have a research paper for my geometry class. papers should be for english not math. UGH i hate geo too.

i agree up until the last phrase. you don't CHOOSE to take English, and everything in the world has art in it, you can't just expect English teachers to only assign papers every single effing time; you'd complain about that too. they're actually doing this for YOU, to make it more fun, so be grateful

I loooooove art and stuff, so those projects are the only things that get me to do my work in class.

Well you shouldn't be rewarded because you're too lazy to do work that's actually related to the subject.

Then take points off for not showing effort or creativity. I'm not gonna show effort or creativity when I have to color a fucking map of Australia and draw a fucking kangaroo for history class.
