Our Studio with Frank Korb: Trust
Trust is a challenging thing at times. What do you trust? Sister Mary Corita Kent, artist, teacher, nun, wrote out 10 rules of her studio. Rule #1 is to “Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while.” https://www.corita.org/about/corita to learn more about Sister Mary Corita Kent and her art. Thanks!
Let’s talk about that – Come on over.
The full series of episodes can be found HERE! Come on over.
How do you see yourself in Sister Mary Corita Kent’s Studio Rule? This is the one that really sticks. It IS the people who do the work that get things done. Did you finish the artwork? Did you do the self assessment? Dis you help your classmates? Did you learn and are excited to move on? YES!
Here are all of our Studio EXPECTATIONS.
6th Grade: Ceramics and Keepsake Boxes
Here are the 6th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
WE are beginning in CLAY! Woo Hoo! We are experimenting first and making some small keepsakes for our pockets. We are going to be making KEEPSAKE boxes – this is one I made for my daughter who collects matchbooks. What is a keepsake you have?
Lesson Plans for the Keepsake Box.
7th Grade: GLAZING – KILN GODS – Personal “Guardians”
Here are the 7th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
We are glazing the works this week and then FIRING again! This is going to be exciting to see (as I have not opened up the kiln yet). Good luck Kiln Guardians and I hope you all survived!
Here is the Kiln Guardian Art making Assignment.
8th Grade 2D: Linoleum Printing – Let’s get going… Let’s get going… Let’s get going (there will be repeating here!)
Here are the 8th Grade 2D Design semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
Printmaking has been around for a LONG time. Almost as long as Mr. Korb has been around. There have been a lot of movements in art that utilized the process of printmaking to express their beliefs and thoughts. German Expressionism was a huge one that implemented the ideas of printmaking to put a lot of their works and thoughts about the world out into the world. Above is an image by Franz Marc (a German Expressionist).
8th Grade Sculpture: Wheel Throwing and Hand Building
Here are the 8th Grade Sculpture semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
Welcome to the pottery studio. The next 4 or 5 weeks we are going to be switching between two different summative assignments. Wheel Throwing (which will be more about the experience) and a new project (I am excited about this) Bas-Relief Architectural Works.
Milwaukee Artist Heather Eiden and her Bas-Relief Sculptures of local homes and spaces. What are you thinking about as you begin to plan your ideas?
The Wheel Thrown Assignment is HERE.

Virtual Exhibition of the Hyakko Show at Japan House – London. Artists – here is a great place to start for inspiration towards a lifetime of making. One could wander through this virtual exhibition for hours. Imagine what the real space would be like?
This exhibition presents works in clay, glass, wood, leather, metal and bamboo – from ceramic matcha bowls to metal teapots and urushi lacquerware trays. Each item bears traces of its maker’s surroundings and nods to tradition while quietly incorporating both innovation and self-expression.
