Focusing on Process yields better Products, whereas focusing on Product is setting yourself up for failure. Unfortunately some parents laugh at or don't understand students "Blind/Pure Contor Drawings" because they look like scribbles & chicken scratch- but that's a "drill that builds skills" like "running lines" in basketball or football, or playing scales in band. Pure Contour is when kids learn to observe the subject slowly & carefully while simultaneously recording their perceptions. They aren't allowed to look at their paper, only the model or still-life. It's like telling a base/softball player to keep their eye on the ball, or telling a basketball player ignore the ball and to not take their eyes off the hoop during a free throw. Always trust the process.
