Corita Kent was one of the great American artists of the XXth Century. She made hundreds of works of art in her lifetime, designed books and posters and was a legendary teacher. She taught at Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles in the 1960's. In this concise and wonderfully illustrated book her teaching lives on for many new students and readers to enjoy. This is a real treasure and the exercises that Corita Kent and Jan Steward have put together in this book make it valuable and inspiring.

Corita was an artist who was so ahead of her time. She, virtually, invented the whole concept of teaching with a multicultural, cross curricular approach. She used poetry, prose, folk art and film and tapped into mass media to teach her students. Corita used techniques to teach her students and left a mark with her own art work, influencing advertising with her use of caligraphy and popular media slogans. This book describes her approaches and tries to give the reader a philosophy to use when approaching art. This is not just a how to do art book, but more of a how to think about the world and art. The messages in this book by the author, Jan Steward, make this book worth reading. It will wake up the artist inside of you.

This book is pretty amazing, as was Sister Corita. I love her approach and reflections on art, the nature of art, and the creative spirit. It is such a rare and refreshing experience to come across an art book that carries with it so much truth, power, and depth. The exercises are taken from ones that she actually taught to her students and going through them really does free the spirit to experience the simple yet blessed joy of not only creating, but observing creation as well. I come back to this book every so often when I feel like I need to fill the well and it never disappoints. I am so glad this was republished, grab it while you can before it disappears again!

After being out of print it is pure joy to have this fine book available again. It is written to engage and guide new artists into the wonder of creating art and at the same time it will inspire mature artists to reach deeper and stretch their artistic wings. After Sister Corita's death Jan Steward labored with great love and determination to finish the book they had begun together. She is to be thanked for bringing the brilliant teaching methods of Corita Kent to the rest of us.

A Jewish Proverb states- "A wise teacher makes learning a joy." Sister Corita Kent's teachings live on- and the result is joy. As a teacher of Art, I am always thrilled to find methodologies from gifted teachers. Learning by Heart is a treasure, to both teacher and student. Filled with practical lessons, this book is a reminder that the imagination of God abounds in nature. We have but to look.
