Youth Art Month: last day, 31. It’s been a wonderful month full of fantastic art from our Mynderse Academy students. Let’s finish with a piece by freshman, Iris. Her style of coloring reminds me of work by the old masters. She has a wonderful technique! #YAM #SFCSDPROUD #MAPROUD

We are now into high fire red clay. Due to the shutdown last year, this is the first time the ceramics students have been able to use this clay and all the amazing glazes. They are already building beautiful work and I can’t wait to see it finished and glazed!!

Congratulations to Tristan, Issy and Emily on completing and submitting their AP Drawing portfolio. It was a roller coaster ride for sure, but their amazing art is a testament to their hard work and dedication. Here is a work from each. So so so #MAPROUD, #SFCSDPROUD

Doughnuts anyone? If you happen to have a craving and stop by the Bayard Bakery make sure you check out our Mynderse Academy art on display. A big THANK YOU to the bakery for the chance to display our talented students. #MAPROUD #SFCSDPROUD

Some of the best days in the art room is when the glaze kiln is unloaded. Here are a few examples of studio art projects. Awesome job by all! #SFCSDPROUD

Can’t be there in person tonight, but I still had to check out my senior potter who also happens to be a fantastic sax player. Great job Alyssa!!! 😁🎷the band sounds wonderful and I am so happy they had the opportunity to play in front of an audience. 👏👏👏

As we were unable to hold our in-person art show again this year, please take a moment to check out the fantastic work of our 9-12th graders. We could not be more #MAPROUD ~Mrs. Korba and Ms. Becker spark.adobe.com/page/W9gZUpFuA…

If you haven’t had the chance to check out this year’s Mynderse Academy Virtual Art Show, here is the link again. Ms. Becker and I are are very #SFCSDPROUD of all of this year’s students. spark.adobe.com/page/W9gZUpFuA…

Forgot to post this! We held Feel Good Friday early due to conflicts today.On the 1st day students were asked for a word that they would see & remind them of a goal/aspiration. Ms. Becker & I then bought supplies & laser cut their words. Ss then made bracelets or key chains.

I keep forgetting to post our monthly “Feel Good Friday’s”. We made it a Tuesday due to break & students competed in a pancake art contest. If we had flops they still tasted good. The contest was followed by pancake eating with lots of syrup. All in all 7 boxes of mix were eaten.

Check out K. James’ painting for AP art. Some fan art from the tv show Twin Peaks. We didn’t track the hours put in, but there were many. (Acrylic on canvas)

Ms. Becker & I finished installing an art show at the Women’s Rights Museum just as the Park was closing. A few touch ups tomorrow & it will be set to be viewed throughout Women’s History Month. This work is tied to the NAE grant awarded to us & to our connection to Womens Rights

Got to open one of my favorite kilns of the year. Advanced art used under glazes to paint simple slumped forms. These plates and platters are functional as well as beautiful. #SFCSDPROUD #MAART

4 years ago I wrote a post-it note to remind me to “yell” at Amy bc she didn’t put away the colored pencils. It became a running joke & I promised her that I would keep that note & bring it to graduation to yell at her one more time. Last night, I fulfilled that promise.Congrats!

So proud of my favorite ceramicists. These ladies have been some of the best clay artist, and young ladies I have ever taught. I will miss our talks in the studio and sharing our love of clay and life together. You all will be missed greatly. Best of luck on your next journey!

Digital Art is nearing the end of the tutorials and showing of their newly learned Adobe Illustrator skills. 11 teacher-made tutorials later and it’s on to the Panda Practice. I feel like they all need “I survived Korba’s voice in my head for 5 weeks” t-shirts. #MAProud

Just a few examples from our 9th grade studio art students superb ceramics. Students each completed 4 projects using various building techniques. Lots of students will be sipping cocoa out of mugs and eating cereal from bowls they hand made. Great job by all! #SFCSDPROUD #MAART

The K-12 Art and Technology Fair is officially ready for viewing! You can view all the amazing work today, June 6th, 7th or 8th from 6:30 to 8:30. #SFCSDPROUD

The k-12 Art and Technology Fair is underway! We love seeing all the younger students walking through. Their excitement and looks of wonder make all the hard work very much worth it. Thank you to my fantastic department for all the hours that went into this. #SFCSDPROUD

Just like that the 2023 K-12 Art & Tech Fair is over and broken down. Shout out to my amazing Mynderse family, Mrs. Hendy, Mr. Page & Mr. Kelly and many students for helping. We were able to break down in 1 hour. Thank you all for participating, viewing & helping! #SFCSDPROUD
