Leonardo's artwork looks amazingly realistic, while Monet's artwork does not look as realistic. How come Monet got a higher grade than Leonardo?
Even if the art looks good, maybe Leonardo didn't follow good studio habits, maybe he ignored the reflection part of the project, maybe he wasn't as focused and hardworking as Monet.

"Try, fail, fix, and prevail"
Someone is being distracting at your table. What should you do?
Refocus on my work, ask them to stop if needed, then get help from the teacher if it continues.
