September Special from the Corita Art Center

2010-08-31T16:42:48Z

When Corita taught at Immaculate Heart College, her printmaking was limited to the two or three weeks between the end of summer school and the beginning of the new school year. This annual outpouring of creativity was the culmination of all Corita had absorbed the previous year – images, phrases, sounds and ideas. As Corita said, “to create is to relate,” and her creations were born of relationships she forged between disparate elements she encountered, placed together on a silkscreen.

The beginning of Corita’s process was the accumulation of these elements – the building blocks that would be recast and reconfigured into works of art. She had her students keep “Sense Journals” for capturing and gathering the experiences that they, too, would eventually spin into art. In a sense, Corita and her students were simply gathering their own alphabets with which to write new and wonderful poetry.
