#Collaboration – What are you doing to ADD to the group work?

NEW SEATING CHARTS!

~~~

“Talent may get someone off the starting blocks faster, but without a sense of direction or a goal to strive for, it won’t count for much.” – David Bayles and Ted Orland

Ready, Set, GO! Use your SKILLS to get things going. http://arumarathon.nohost.com.br/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/GD4415087-1513.jpg

Art Foundations: Resolve your COLLAGE

Max Enst’s Collage / painting: TEXTURE! http://uploads0.wikipaintings.org/images/max-ernst/the-entire-city-1935.jpg

GOALS:

  1. 4.2 describe the purpose of creating a textured collage in your classroom. How have you used the ideas of texture to create an image of emotion?

What did you do to make the collage represent the 2 different emotions you chose? How would you change the work if you could have 1 more day?

Drawing: 2 More days on your PORTRAITS!

Kahinde Wiley – What are YOU doing with your work? https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/8c85f-dee-and-ricky-by-kehinde-wiley.png

GOALS:

  1. 3.1 reflect on how your portraits and graffiti art differs and describe how it relates to your personal history and personal culture.

One more day to work. What do you need to look at tomorrow and think about – fix, change, clean up? WRITE THAT DOWN and make sure you deal with that first thing tomorrow!

AP Studio Art: Collaboration and Installation!

GROUP – You are working with a larger goal in mind! What are you adding? http://www.originofcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/389243_294877460598531_217231461696465_698020_1158791058_n-e1336969265898.jpg

GOALS:

  1. 1.4 create, define, and solve visual challenges using 1.4.1 analysis (breaking up the artwork / subject matter to basic elements), 1.4.2 synthesis (put all the parts of a work together to form a whole), 1.4.3 evaluation [critique] (formative and summative reflections about your artwork) – How are you using this project as a GROUP effort / COLLABORATIVE work to communicate BIGGER ideas than individual CONCENTRATION projects from your AP Work.

What happened today? Write down your best thoughts from today’s collaboration.

Mrs. Casto’s Day in D.C.

A wonderful summary of another teacher’s experience at the White House during Teacher Appreciation Week. I look forward to future collaborations with Mrs. Casto and all the other educators I met. Thank you EVERYONE!

Approximately two weeks ago, I saw this on Twitter:

I thought to myself, Wow! That sounds like a great opportunity. There’s no way on this good, green Earth that I’ll ever be selected (because, really, who am I?), but I’ll apply anyway. I took a chance as well as about 10 minutes to apply on my iPhone while cooking dinner one night, pressed “Send,” and let out a big sigh at the thought of such an amazing opportunity.

Fast forward to a few days later, I received the following email from the White House’s Deputy Director of Digital Programs, Kasie Coccaro:

Whoa! They selected ME?! I just couldn’t believe it! One of my dreams of meeting the Secretary of Education was going to finally come true AND I was going to also tour the White House AND meet Dr. Biden…wow. Just, wow.

After just a few days of security-clearance and itinerary emails, the…

Mr. Korb Goes to Washington. Seriously. This Tuesday.

 “I believe arts education in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts is one of the most creative ways we have to find the gold that is buried just beneath the surface. They (children) have an enthusiasm for life a spark of creativity, and vivid imaginations that need training – training that prepares them to become confident young men and women.”

– Richard W. Riley, Former US Secretary of Education

White House Invitation

I have never seen “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” but perhaps this weekend it should be on my list of films tho watch. On Wednesday, May 6, I, along with 19 other teachers from around the country will be at the Teacher Appreciation Social in Washington D.C. at the White House. This is an opportunity to talk education with the his White House Social is an opportunity to participate in a conversation with Administration officials, including lifelong educator Dr. Jill Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan. We will also have the opportunity to get a tour of the White House.

Did I set some lofty Goals this year? You bet! Did I sit and reflectas tho my progress… you bet, ask my wife. Was this one of them? Not quite, but how can it get any better? Thanks to all the White House Executive staff who looked overt the applications and choose mine. I will do my school, fellow teachers, and administrators, and most importantly many students proud. I will follow up later this week with photographs… I hope.

Thank you to my loving wife Julie and daughter Abby for all their support this year and all my years.

Frank
