Corita Rules! by Abstract Orange
A book by Lauren Emeritz which is inspired by the work and rules of Corita Kent (1918 -1986).
Kent’s “10 rules for students, teachers, and life” can be found at www.genuis.com.
www.corita.org: "Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita, was an artist with an innovative approach to design and education. By the 1960s, her vibrant serigraphs were drawing international acclaim. Corita’s work reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war, and her messages of peace and social justice continue to resonate with audiences today.”
In her homage to Kent, Emeritz uses bright colors in her papers. She pulls words from the ten rules and prints them in bold type -Trust, Experiment, Focus, Work, Create, Persist.
