Art Foundations: Texture and Composition (Golden Rectangle)

Max Ernst and TEXTURE – Let’s gather some texture! http://www.tate.org.uk/art/images/work/N/N05/N05289_10.jpg

GOALS

  1. 2.6 Work on creating multiple solutions (TEXTURE PROCESS) to solve visual challenges.

TEXTURE PAGE – HERE

What are the most interesting textures you have gathered? What do you think you might be able to use them as in the artwork?

Drawing: Portraits

Ah… the musicians. How did Matisse simplify? How are his colors being used? If he had a box of 24, would he use them all? I don’t think so. http://www.daydaypaint.com/images/Commerical-Painting/Henri-Matisse-Painting-027.jpg

GOALS

  1. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.

What was the most challenging way to draw? Why was this most difficult way to go? What is most important about drawing when it comes to observation?

AP Studio Art: EXAM! (Ice Cream Friday… sorry CAT, we’ll plan another one)

GOALS

  1. NO GOALS! EXAM DAY! Take all the goals you’ve put out there in the past YEAR and let’s prove ourselves today! I am SO PROUD of YOU ALL!

Reflection: Sit back and consider all the work you have done… seriously, sit back and consider.

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.

What Students Really Need to Hear

Chase Mielke's avatarAFFECTIVE LIVING

It’s 4 a.m.  I’ve struggled for the last hour to go to sleep.  But, I can’t.  Yet again, I am tossing and turning, unable to shut down my brain.  Why?  Because I am stressed about my students.  Really stressed.  I’m so stressed that I can only think to write down what I really want to say — the real truth I’ve been needing to say — and vow to myself that I will let my students hear what I really think tomorrow.

This is what students really need to hear:

First, you need to know right now that I care about you. In fact, I care about you more than you may care about yourself.  And I care not just about your grades or your test scores, but about you as a person. And, because I care, I need to be honest with you. Do I have permission to be…
