Where I teach, there's a Discord server that has a lot of teachers and staff on it, and one of the channels is for posting drawings for Inktober. For those unfamiliar, Inktober is a yearly art challenge, where for the month of October there's a daily theme word, and everyone draws something (ostensibly using ink, but people do all kinds of stuff). I noticed that a lot of people are shy about posting stuff there, particularly people who consider themselves unable to draw. As someone who himself couldn't really draw, I thought I could use whatever social clout I have as a teacher to post some terrible drawings and show people that that's an okay thing to do (since there are a bunch of actually good art students posting stuff it can be a bit intimidating).
It has been a very interesting experience. As a programming teacher, I had often in the past been confused by an attitude from art teachers, along the lines of "if a student is failing horribly it's because they're not trying hard enough" (albeit not quite so harshly). As a programming teacher, this seemed wrong and kind of cruel - lots of people try really hard in my classes and just don't get it, and I can't always help them!
I'm just one person, so I can't say with confidence that this generalises, but I have to admit that spending half an hour (ish) every day drawing, with no clue what I'm doing, no expert instruction, no research, etc... I have been surprised at how much I've improved. That's not how programming works at all! Having done Inktober four years in a row now, while I'm no expert, I do think I've managed to draw some things that don't completely suck, and there's been a pretty noticeable improvement
I haven't really done much drawing outside of Inktober, and this has been the first time I've really attempted to draw anything since I was a kid (my first Inktober was at age 36). So, you can pretty much see everything I've ever drawn in chronological order by scrolling up far enough on the Inktober Discord channel. But given the ephemeral nature of Discord chats, this seems like a good thing to put somewhere online, in case any fledgling artists want to follow along.
