We all know them--the art students who are at every event, spend hours and hours in the studio and in essence turn themselves over to the idea of being "artists". This is of course in contrast to the students who do only the bare minimum to get through the program. They appear to hate art and making art, but major in it anyway. I want to come up with a system of rewarding those who care.
The idea of giving out Top Value Stamps whenever you bought something at a store comes to mind. Back in the olden days we would stick these stamps in little books and when they were full we would redeem them for great items. I recall one time getting a kitchen stool. Wow, a kitchen stool! Seems that we could give students credit for actively pursuing their drive to become "artists". Maybe we could give students "brownie points" and once they have accumulated a bunch they can trade them in for books, art supplies, a case of Ramen...whatever. What do you think?
