Hmmm, for some reason I always attributed the "We have no art, we do everything well" as a saying from Bali? Is this true?
Yes! That's where it comes from. She credits them in her book.
@@theartassignment RAD. THX. Gonna need to get that book!
That quote about being a student is SO GOOD. You are needed to help make the class! -John
As an educator, I definitely started tearing up at that point! So true! Doesn't matter how many times I teach the same Foundations course, they are always different and vibrant because of the students in the room and who they are and what they bring!
So true. Without the students, there is NO class, no learning. Have you thought about writing a book, John?
I really understand that quote now that I'm in a class where no one wants to participate it sucks any potential out of the Prof and the material itself
YES! I'm thinking of adding it to my syllabi for future classes.
@@weasaldude It's also painful for the professor-- it is so much harder to sustain a class with students who aren't putting themselves into it.
"the Virgin Mary is the juiciest tomato" oh wow she was ahead of her time 😩👌
Love that you took a mistake you made and transformed it into an opportunity to share light on a great artist, instead of trying to bury the mistake or move past it quickly.
Thank you for exposing me to Kent... I think I might become a little obsessed with her
Oh, she and her work are endlessly fascinating. The Hammer Museum has made their entire collection of her work available and so easy to explore: hammer.ucla.edu/collections/grunwald-center-collection/corita-kent/
The Art Assignment thank you very much!
Erick Draws I understand that. Sometimes I think he It helps to just stop thinking and focus on what you feel and how the artist may have thought while creating the work. Also for me learning about the artists technique and process helps me appreciate work more.
Plork is an important concept.
It really is.
I'm so frustrated that I've never heard of any of this and so happy to say I know now.
Don't feel bad. I clearly didn't know until recently. This is the joy of learning throughout life!
I agree where has she been all my life lol
100%
I know there was a statement about no more saints> but if there ever was going to be one..
Being a science student, I hardly had any knowledge of art and it's history. But the Art Assignment has been so so helpful. I literally spend hours after seeing each video researching on the topic. Thank you so much. I am growing excessively obsessed with art history :)
Music to my ears.
@@theartassignment I have been reading the essays written on her and her artwork available in the Hammer museum link ( thank you for sharing ) and I am addicted. Thank you so much!!!
The Art Assignment team, you rock !
@@disharibose7004 always makes me so happy to see other desi folks in art assignment comment sections
@@oof-wi7hp ikr it's really heartening to see fellow Indians who are interested in both Science and Art+ Literature ✨
My jaw dropped just a bit more with each rule. I think this is what the word awe is meant for. Yes, I’m printing that out and posting it on my desk. Thank you for the great learning moment.
As an art ed major, I’m shocked I didn’t learn anything about Kent. I’ve heard her name before but I didn’t know anything about her. Thank you for introducing her to me!
I am an Art History students. These rules are going to be such a great help. Thanks for this one. 🖤❤️
we were given these rules in my first class of my undergrad. I then affixed them to the front of the locker I was using to hold art supplies. I think they are still there.
*Rule 11* Watch The Art Assignment
I LIKE THIS ONE
I teach a subject that boils down to "how to be a student", and thank you so much because I am going to teach these rules to my students this year. I got a little teary eyed with this video, what an amazing woman.
I wish I had taken your class! So important.
Hey, I recognize that ornate square with Arabic text in the background!! It's an interview/menu from Pittsburgh's Conflict Kitchen! From the Iran menu, if memory serves me well. They were a fantastic concept restaurant with incredible food.
Each season, they'd feature a small menu from a country the US currently is or has been in conflict with. And they'd hand out these large square transcripts of interviews they'd conduct with people from that country about their food and culture, with pretty designs on the back, and the country name written in the local language.
Also, the Iran season had some especially banging food!
The rules are actually my iPad background, but I knew them through Cage and Cunningham, I never knew they weren’t Cage’s! Kent is sooooo cool!😍
Oh I am so happy to see a video about Kent. I saw a show of her work at the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh probably 6 years ago and was obsessed ever since. Her life, her work...literally life giving
Art nuns are a rare treasure. Sister Corita, Sister Wendy, and all the others who I don't know. Absolute gems.
I'm printing off the rules to put up at my desk in graduate school. This just might be my favorite one of your videos thus far (and I've seen them all). WHAT A COOL PERSON!
YES MY GIRL I LOVE HER
I don’t know if the makers of this channel will see this a year after making this but thank you so much for making this. I really enjoy the content and being to learn more about lesser known but equally talented artists than the usual we learn in classes. I was looking up this artist again and was so happy to see this video by this channel I love.
Yes, Corita Kent!! I went to an exhibit of her work for school a couple years ago and I LOVED her and her work. She's so inspiring.
My art professor recommended this video in our module, and I'm absolutely astounded by the amazing advice and works of Corita Kent! So happy to find a new figure to look up to!
Thank you for bringing Kent back from my public school days. I reveled in all the familiar of her popular works. Now at the other end of my life span, I have a new appreciation for why she went about her life as she did.
Person with a pulse here! Instantly smitten with those rules. Where were they when I was in studio?!? Who knows whether I would have related to them as profoundly as I do now, but I can't help but think they would have made one heck of a difference. I am going to very much find a great print and post them nearby. Thank you for another great show and the great introduction to Kent! I really dig her use of text in her prints, there's a vibrancy and cross-mind (text and image, perception and reading, amorphous and rigid) aspect that's really entrancing. :)
I love Sister Kent so much. She was a genius. Her thing about not analyzing and suspending judgment is amazing and very helpful.
I have been using this rule (or trying to) every day since writing this video. Brainstorming is not brainstorming if you judge at the same time.
Always a lesson learned. So rich and layered. Love it.
Love it!! Thanks so much for doing this. So much I never knew about her, and all of it makes me appreciate her more! This has been my favorite youtube channel for a while and you have given me at least a dozen new reasons why this is the best channel ever. Thanks again.
This is an example video of why I adore this channel!
WOW! I had no idea! Thanks for bringing it forward in a full on video! Thanks to the kind folks who brought it to your attention!
This one is so amazing. Shook me to the core. Especially the camera lens made out of paper to understand forms. And trips to grocery stores. I wish I had such a mentor. Never mind I will become like one.
Just what I needed at the time I need it most...
What an inspiration! I love the fact she coined the concept of plork as well
Plork is the thing to which we should all aspire. I was telling our editor, Mark, that we need to make that still frame a poster for our offices.
I got to see some of her work in Ditchling recently and I'm almost sobbing at this video. She's so amazing.
TIL I wanna be Sister Corita Kent.
This is a great video! I had seen the stamp and a lot of her work and yet never heard of her. Thank you Art Assignment. Love the new knowledge!
thank you for allowing us to know Sister Corita Kent works
This is what the internet is for.
I used to pass the Rainbow Swash every day on my way to work in Boston! All that time I never knew a thing about how fascinating Kent was. Great video!!
YES! LOVE CORITA KENT!
Isn't this video the greatest motivation and tips-for-success material? Damn this is so relatable and useful!
I think this was my favorite art assignment video yet :)
I love this show! I learn so much and feel inspired
amazing. i'm happy i found this channel.
I have never heard of this woman. But I love her art and I love her rules. For the time I have left on this earth, I am committing to living by them.
Wow, I'm so inspired by her. I had never heard of her, but this is a wonderful video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the introduction, I will definitely be seeking out more of Kent’s work!
I am still sad that Conflict Kitchen closed, but I love seeing the beautiful work they put into their informational/interview sheets live on in your background!
Okay I love these top ten rules... very good tenets to follow
So inspirational! Would love to see her work in person.
LOVE THE SIDE SWEPT BANGS
So awesome!!!! I need to print that list and read it every day.
WoW. So inspiring!
Thank you for a really inspiring video! This was new to me, I'm grabbing that list and will deep dive. It will be introduced to my students in the future!
Fantastic work, as always. Thank You.
Heart eyes emoji!!!! The teacher in me LOVES THIS.
Jocobs ladder at 4:09, lovely
I love angles. Yet to determine my favorite...I'm working on it.
Just... Wow! I think I've found my new favourite inspiration! Great video :)
Simply wow!
I feel so inspired
Thank you so much for such an amazing video! The video itself was so joyful!
What a fascinating and inspiring person! I had never heard of the Sister before seeing this video!
I have never heard of her. Thank you for bringing her to me. 😊
i loved the video! also, Sarah your hair looks so pretty and shiny
Love the rules and look forward to new rules.
This video made me happy
Thanks for making me aware of this amazing artist. Love the list! What a great guidebook that isn't set in stone :-)
I love this background
We moved offices and it was improvised in 10 mins, but I dig it, too. 😊
Sister Corita was never a nun. Sisters make vows to follow the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They live in convents and are governed by a mother superior. Roman Catholic *nuns* make vows and follow those three Counsels, as well as a vow of stability, i.e. to remain in an enclosure (monastery) except under extreme circumstances, including a missive by their Abbess to go out and establish a new monastery.
Too many sisters, along with the lay people of the Roman Catholic church, thought and/or think that sisters are nuns, when sisters do not take on perhaps the most difficult of paths, i.e. the enclosed monastic life. This is not to say that monastics are better than sisters. Rather, they live in Christ according to their own gifts and lights.
Thank you for explaining. I was confused about this during the video.
@@nj4jd you're welcome. The sad thing is, as I pointed out, that even many women living the Consecrated Life, don't know the difference.
what the heck i love her
After all my work outs done I watch you videos!!
You are such a pro.
ST CORITA PRAY FOR US
OMG I LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!
Another great video, thank you for creating such awesome content.
Love this. Love discovering your channel. Actually, after having watched 'The truth of the tortured artist', I have a question. It was a reference to Jeff Koons that inspired the question. I believe Koons has teams of workers to help produce the work, as has, for instance, Anselm Keifer, Damian Hurst, and any number of other artists - I'm pretty sure the same is true of Anish Kapoor. Anyway, the questions are, to what extent are the workers acknowledged? How are they treated? Is this a contractual setup, like an employer, employee relation? Are these workers really artists themselves, and are they the 'dirty' secret of art production? In my view, all art is collaborative, even it if is in the single artist's relation with the society in which she lives. And, I also think we need to bring to light those actual worker-artists who are kept invisible or not spoken of openly. We need to examine the conditions in which they work too. We need this to both demonstrate the necessity of collaboration, and to rid us once and for all of the myth of great work being the sole product of some auteur genius. Hope you might do a video on this question some time. Thanks. :)
What an amazing woman and teacher, I would have loved to have been one of her students.
Thankyou so much for this!!!!!!
SPECTACULAR
wow such a beautiful video
so much knowledge embedded
Great video
These rules sure would look great on a t-shirt or sweatshirt! Hmmm...
The Corita Art Center sells it in poster form!: store.corita.org/products/ten-rules-poster
I am feeling very called out by this video, watching it while skipping class
Wow! I wish I could have been her student!
11:33 Everyone in the Boston area knows that gas tank! Nice to learn a bit about the artist responsible!
OMG you did a good video here. Awesome!
lmao This is pretty serendipitous. I was just reading about her in _"Estampas de la Raza."_
You're videos are amazing! 2nd year bachelor in scuplture here, I was wondering, would you do a " case for gertrude stein" ?
I'm so happy to be learning this right now! I've always been a struggling student because I just didn't have enough motivation but im almost 18 and starting college soon and this was v inspiring
Immediately bought Learning by Heart after watching this episode. I really value this channel, thank you for everything you've done for me
BRUH THIS IS IT. THIS IS MY SCHOOL THANK SO MUCH TIME TO GO TO THE LIBRARY AND READ UP ON THIS NUN!
you know I say the title & thought you were going to talk about Sister Wendy
We need a poster of Kent's Rules at DFTBA
Wow if someone made a poster of these rules, I would put it up in my office!
POPeye MEDIA the corita art center sells one! Store.corita.org
This was just great. Glad that Google is coming through with some dough ray mee :)
100% Get paid!
ray eames was a woman! thankyou for so much info in a short time! i haven't finished the vid yet and i am already being mindblown
10:09 Warhol often used this rule 😂 he was always asking people for ideas... I aspire to be like him, a great collaborator 😊
This makes me, as a future biochemical engineer, to question my choices and want to immerse in art even more than i did before
I have a professor who is more interested in stuffing down what she thinks down our throats than actually hearing us out. Next time I go to her class, I'll have my ear buds tucked in, and some music playing.
Why not give them a copy of Kent's rules instead? They might be then inspired to do different. But, before you do, check out her rules for yourself.
the Persian background is refreshing
