"Art projects" in English classrooms do not help students and weaken their writing skills.
Art projects in English classrooms at the high school level do not help students learn how to write well. Students can barely put together a sentence in college, and the first few weeks of many college classes are wasted re-learning basic grammar and writing techniques because frustrated professors want students to write at a college level when many of them cannot. I personally find these "Art Projects" frustrating because they hurt my grades in high school. We were graded on our ability to draw and make posters and other "creative" projects, rather than our talents and skills in crafting well-written essays. I believe that English classes should have more of a focus on writing and less of these "art projects" which should only be utilized in classes specifically meant for art.
