:: A personal interest in learning, creative and critical thinking has manifest in my recent reading choices. Learning by Heart, although it appears to suggest a rather loose and even unconsidered teaching method, really provides suggestions for authentic experiences that are paired with experimentation and exploration.
:: The book records lessons and projects once done by Corita Kent and her students. Kent's fascination with fonts, everyday consumer product packaging, and chance relationships generate free and expressive art works. Students were coached, encouraged and moved beyond self-limits. Today, similar projects would likely be welcomed by independent minded students wanting to make public art.
:: For readers of this book or followers of Corita Kent's art, a retrospective show of serigraphs will soon open in Vancouver. (See following post.)
