Immaculate Heart College Art Department Rules

ANP Quarterly #6 just came out a week or so ago. This issue has some great stuff, including a piece on Sister Mary Corita Kent, the Catholic nun and experimental printmaker who led the art department at Immaculate Heart College. Here’s a sampling of the Art Department Rules during Corita’s reign:

Rule 4
Consider everything an experiment.
Rule 6
Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make.
Rule 8
Don’t try to create and analyse at the same time. They’re different processes.
Rule 9
Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.
