Gender differences

In the article, The Art Diaries by Gina Wenger, she mentions that a teacher specifically said that the journals

"Especially in the work of girls, the diaries are often very developed and personalized. Sometimes this quality in the diaries is accompanied by excellent artwork, but sometimes it is not."

Wenger goes on to say "the diaries turn out best when teachers emphasize their value. 'When teachers work closely with students on their diaries,' Wenger noticed, 'the books end up being very developed and multi-dimensional.'"

So I asked the teacher about differences that he had noticed and this is what he said, "Boys and girls are about the same but writing styles are different. Boys are more to write direct towards what is needed.  Girls tend to go on with the areas, more than what is needed."
