Is it normal i can't work well when given an assignment?

When I'm assigned a project to do in school in one of my art classes, most of the time I do absolutely horrible. But when I am able to use creative expression and do my own thing, whether it be in the class or on my own, I can make pretty good artwork. Does this happen to anyone else?

  • Some people don't work well under pressure. Normal.

  • I'm the same way. When given an assignment, I'm more paranoid about when it's due so I rush and go with the first stupid ideas I might have.

  • Perfectly normal. I'd do great work in all of my subjects, only to be left with a blank mind during some tests. Sadly, that's the way the cookie crumbles (sometimes).
