I've been a teacher and I've had similar experiences. It's hard when you get attached to the students and you value yourself according to how well your students are doing. I wouldn't give him a completely different thing to everyone else because that would disrupt the class.
Maybe he is ashamed of not being able to do anything artistic. If he thinks that it isn't worth it why not give him examples of how art earns big bucks as in branding/advertising. Might give him an incentive.
Art for me is exciting because the wonder of that blank thing in front of me could be absolutely anything I wanted it to be. I wouldn't know how to instill that wonder in another person though.
Is it normal to have such an unenthusiastic student
