Hang on... you are teaching art, but are no good at it? That seems... odd.

Small rural school. The assignment is primarily math and science. Art was tacked on. My tact has been to facilitate and encourage creativity. In high school they will have a teacher who really knows the technical stuff.

Either way I want to get better at it so here we are.

Solid start!

Get creative with it and use random things to make stuff! Art is more than drawing ;)

We did art from trash during earth day! I definitely mix it up as much as possible.

Going to drop a couple of links in case you might find them interesting:

I do art from time to time. My philosophy towards art might be different from yours, so mileage may vary.

I typically find that the sheer open endedness of creative art makes it hard to truly get into and put serious effort into, and it was only when I learned the proper techniques of drawing that creative art became more approachable. I think sometimes, people subconsciously get a bit of decision paralysis, and having a more structured approach to art helps you get into it more easily.

If that sounds vaguely like you, then what could really help is to start off with some still life art. Just search on Google images random flowers, animal, objects, etc. Then spend around 15 minutes trying to recreate the image as accurately as possible. The trick is to pace yourself so that you don't nitpick tiny details, but still spending enough time on it to get the sketch down accurately. This sort of practice helps build drawing technique, but also helps you develop an artistic sense for space and scale - skills that you can then apply to creative art to help it feel more structured
