Learn To Draw “Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.” 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

Hello everyone! I am so glad to be back in the Fort Atkinson School District for my 2nd year! This is my 24th year teaching and I am really looking forward to it! Art Foundations, Painting, Advanced Painting, Digital Art and Photography, Advanced Digital Art and Photography, and DRAWING! I am really excited about all the work we are going to create and all the new learning we are going to experience. I am ALSO going to be making a lot of new art and experiences for myself this year with the MARN (Milwaukee Art Resource Network) Mentors Program. Alright artists, a week left to go. Enjoy the vacation time and I will see you in one week (or so).

Mr. Korb

The story of a 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa, a great and quick listen.

Not very exciting for you… maybe… but for me this is HUGE. I am running ahead of schedule and getting some quality work done a whole WEEK before my official school year begins. I am looking to make changes to the course syllabus’s, but here are some beginnings.

Course Description Page HERE!

Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them. https://nyti.ms/2xGsUfY

• Level I – Beginning
• Level II – Developing
• Level III – Advanced

WELCOME to the newest series of rubrics that my all of my studio classes for the 2019 – 2020 school year. I am excited that they have been revised, simplified (3/4 of the words have been removed – or thereabouts) and that the National Visual Arts Standards have been specifically identified. One specific thing about the rubrics that I stand behind is that they are the same across the board – all artworks get the same rubric (based on level of course of course). I realize that this is exciting to me and a very small audience, but I am really happy to get to work with the artists and create a really strong body of work with each and every one of them.

I know that this is a level of excitement that few people will share with me, but, in order to help the artists develop a strong set of self-reflection and self-evaluation skills and to also create a really strong set of artworks – the following rubrics are here for your perusal. Enjoy.

• Level I – Beginning
• Level II – Developing
• Level III – Advanced
