The document describes the author's experience in their 7th grade art class where they made their first clay project - an ashtray for their father. Their art teacher publicly humiliated them about their creation, making hurtful comments that made their peers laugh and causing the author to feel like a failure. This stagnated their creative side and made them unsure of themselves for years. The teacher failed to recognize the author's individualism and diversity, hindering their self-identity and ability to freely express themselves creatively.

Mary lee 7 th grade art class
Once upon a time in the 7th grade all students at Valencia Jr. High had to take art. At that time of my life I had not tapped into my art ability, but I was very creative, because we made our toys like pop guns And pop bottle dolls, using sseagrass, a coke bottle and clothespins. My 7th grade art teacher had us to create an object of our choice out of clay so that we could bake it in an oven and paint it. This was my first experience with a clay oven or anything like this. I decided to make an astray for my dad.
There were no guidelines, nor correct right or wrong way to do it, we could use a model from any source. My finish product hinder me from years of tapping again into art as I felt like a failure because of remarks made by my about my creation of an astray. My instructor humiliated me with the comments she made about my ashtray that made my peers laugh. Even though I received a passing grade for that course it stagnated my creative side and made me always unsure of my self.
The self identity was hindered because my instructor failed to see who I was and where I came from as I expressed my creative effort. And hindered my individualism to express myself freely which as long as I don’t directly hurt another I should have been able to freely do and my diversity as a human. The next NAAAC she did not allow my innovation skills to be developed and let me bring in my home and school experience.
