#WelcomeBack to the #ArtStudio #Artists

What is Art? “Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.” Anges Martin, Art In America (p.124, 1996)

Welcome to the 2016 – 17 School year and to the Art Department – specifically – Mr. Korb’s Studio. This site will be a place we visit multiple times a week, so make sure you get to know the address. http://www.ArtWithKorb.com. I have also made use of that name for a Facebook Site to try and keep some of the classroom activities available online there also Facebook.com/ArtWithKorb.

Remind is a communications tool that I’ll be working with this year (as I have begun to use in the past). Go ahead and get your cell phones out and, if you want to be kept in the loop, text @artwithk to 81010 to get yourself on the list.

Remind Instructions

As a returning artist / parent / guardian / educator one will note that the Interactive Handbook we have used in in the past are dramatically different this year. No longer are we using the 11″ x 8.5″ folder, but we have now changed to a 8.5″ x 5.5″ booklet. The weekly pages are a bit different also with fewer, but more probing reflections about the work you are creating. Let’s look them over TUESDAY of NEXT WEEK.

A Bit About Mr. Korb

Important Message to my Teenager (and your’s too).

I saw this on MY FACEBOOK timeline and thought, “Boy am I smart… where did I find this?” Truth be told, my Facebook Timeline is also my wife’s Facebook Timeline so… more often than not, the posts are her with me as the face in front of it. That said, you may get a comment back from me and in reality it might be from Julie… who knows? Not even me. Julie found this post and re-posted it and now I am re-posting it here. I think this is an important set of rules. Thanks to the unknown author…

My teenager and me…

MESSAGE TO MY TEENAGER: 
(author unknown)

1. Yes, your freshman AND Sophomore years count towards your GPA for college entrance. Screw it up and you’ll work for crap wages your whole life.

2. No means NO. In every possible circumstance.

3. Join every sport, every club, every after school activity no matter what the cost. It’s cheaper than bail.

4. Repeat after me: I am never in that much of a hurry…I am never in that much of a hurry. Now say that every time you get behind the wheel. It will save your life and that of your best friend in the seat next to you.

5. Don’t do drugs or drink – it is so not worth the trouble.

6. Don’t get a credit card. You earn it or you live without it.

7. If I yell at you, it’s because I love you. And also, because you pissed me off. To avoid the latter, don’t be an idiot. And don’t disappoint me. More importantly, yourself.

8. Make a vivid picture inside your head of every great moment of your childhood. You’ll need those to get through adulthood.

9. Make snow angels as often as possible. Make a bucket list. Check it off!

10. Stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves.

11. Be always benevolent. Yes, that’s a word. Look it up.

12. Call me for a ride even if you are so drunk you barely know my number. I’ll probably be mad for a while but I’ll respect you for calling and I won’t kill you. Riding with someone who is drinking will. (PS – remember #5?)

13. Be a leader, not a follower. Unless you are following the kid with the highest GPA and (s)he is going to a study group, then by all means be a follower!

14. Love your siblings, even when you don’t like them. Some day you will be trying to get them to take care of me in my old age. If they are mad at you, you are stuck with me.

15. I’ve been there, done that on more things than you can imagine. I’m not stupid and I know what you are doing. I was once you (times ten).

16. Work hard at everything you do. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

17. Cover it. (Enough said.)

18. When I tell you to clean your room, do not point at my messy room and raise your eyebrows. I’m trying to raise you to be better than me.

19. Learn to type; to budget; to spell correctly and to pray. All are equally important.

20. Never be sedentary. Someday soon you will no longer be able to move like that. Enjoy it.

AND Remember your family will Always Love You even though there will be time we don’t particularly like you!
