How authentic is the creative work that you're making?

I discuss the idea of authentic making in this episode and talk about how in schools, studios, and artists’ workshops, many instructors teach projects where they make all of the decisions, and leave little to no decision making to students. If this is the case, whose artwork is it then?

How can we open our practice if we’re teachers to allow our students more of a say in their artmaking? And how can we as creative individuals work in a more authentic way?
