Welcome back to school! This is going to be a GREAT year and I am VERY excited to be back. I hope that all of you are too. There are a few things that we do in the art classroom that will happen everyday – Goal Setting (based on the National Visual Arts Standards), Work, and Reflection. This will all become second nature as the semester rolls along and I ask you to trust that what we do in class at the beginning and end of the class will help you in the middle portion of class as well as with the final artwork that we create. Enough said! Let’s get to it!

Art With Korb 
Students setting goals…if they only knew how valuable that skill will eventually turn out to be. I hope you and all of your kids have a super school year. Great work, Frank.
Thank you Paul. The kids may not get it 100% now, but I know they like to be aware of the direction we are going. It sure makes the process of making and working easier for them. (In the end, the grades are higher too because they understand the concepts better.)
