Ooo, that's exciting!
>>For someone who already likes art and/or school, one bad teacher usually isn't a problem unless the abuse is extreme or extended. Where you lose people is if they're shy, already have difficulties in school, are just starting to explore art, or other factors that make it tenuous.<<
That makes sense.
>>And the idea that "anyone who can be discouraged from art, should be" is abuse unto itself.<<
That definitely sounds abusive to me. Not everyone is going to be a master artist or crafter or writer, but they should still be able to indulge their creativity however they choose.
