Practice work exercises allow students to experiment with learning new concepts, vocabulary, skills, & techniques. Practice work allows students to make mistakes and learn from these mistakes without the fear of their grade being impacted. Art is a skill. Much like with everything else; the more you practice, the better you get. Practice work will build confidence, ability, and repetition to improve student performance.
