Alexander Calder’s Maquette for a large sculpture – read the NYT Article to learn more.
We are going to try to approach an Alexander Calder-inspired construction that failed last semester. We are going to remove the idea of sculpting around our bodies and try the cardboard approach one more time. I believe it will work, and we just need more time.

8th Grade Sculpture: Wheel Throwing and Hand Building AND TEST TILES and GLAZING – this week is ALL ASSESSMENTS – UGH on my part too.
Here are the 8th Grade Sculpture semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
As we end this week we are going to be doing some test tiles. This is an example and HERE is the worksheets we are going to be using. What are your predictions? Here is Florian Gatsby and his dog Ciro in the studio with his test tiles. I made them for you.
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?
Involving more than 120 artists, craftspeople and self-taught makers from across Japan, Hyakkล is a celebration of contemporary Japanese craft aesthetics.
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 โ from ceramic matcha bowls to metal teapots and urushilacquerware trays. Each item bears traces of its makerโs surroundings and nods to tradition while quietly incorporating both innovation and self-expression.
Discover the people and processes behind the craft of Japanโs every day, where form and function exist in harmony.

We are going to begin with the glazing this week. Let’s hope all the boxes are DRY and out of the Kiln!
Let’s leave this here just like it is…
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?
Remember these? These are your small Pokisculps (Pocket Sculptures) ๐๐๐.. we are glazing them after we finish up the boxes. How close to done are you?
Here are the 7th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.

New assignment – yet to be built in Google about the use of the portrait and digital art – layer masks. This will be CLEARLY EXPLAINED in the assignment. You will have the portraits variable to you from me! Day 1!
8th Grade 2D: Linoleum Printing – Assessment and then DRAWING
Here are the 8th Grade 2D Design semester Lesson Plansfor 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).

One of the BIGGEST CHALLENGES I see with 8th graders and your understanding of what art is and what it can be is that you don not have a wide view of the world of the arts. The IMAGE, the PICTURE has to be something and it has to be correct (in many of the 8th graders eyes) and sometimes it can be and should be about the mark making… the act of making art. Sol Le Witt nailed this!
