As a visual arts teacher, I find the tactile difference of quality papers to really affect students engagement with my drawing projects and assignments. When students are given quality materials, I find they are more likely to engage with their art projects on a deeper level. I believe that by providing students with more professional-grade supplies in my drawing classes will greatly encourage students to try harder in my class. I believe students can better feel our authentic confidence and autonomy and feel more genuinely supported when we give them access the tools they need to succeed.
