MichaelFrom my experiences, many students in both k-12 and undergraduate art education prefer to create their work by themselves than having someone do it for them. It allows them to express their own views on the world and any emotions they may feel. Along with this, the works students create, to some degree, become important to them as it validates their experiences and possibly even their existence. That what they have created signifies a placement in the world at large and that it (and more likely themselves) should be validated by others.
