Thank you! We're not putting any pressure on him at all with it. It's a shame, as this is the same kid who loved to create all sorts of abstract, very beautifully colored art when he was younger. Our hope is that he will pick it back up again sometime. He likes the teacher, but has looked at the work others create and decided his "stinks."
