Frank Korb - Planning & Preparing Materials

Frank Korb - Planning & Preparing Materials

Patient, purposeful and persistent, high school arts educator and abstract painter Frank Korb is fascinated with building frames, stretching canvases, and preparing his materials. Frank focuses on the formal elements and principles of art and the push and pull of relationships. Frank starts each work by laying down bible pages to add texture and text. Frank is in his studio every day, often spending only 45 minutes each session, but his persistence pays off!

Takeaways

1. Keep working, keep moving forward and eventually it all gets done. 

2. “The only rule is work.” Sister Mary Corita Kent

3. “Inspiration is for amateurs.” Chuck Close
