Description
"Corita Kent (1918-1986) was a visual artist, art teacher, and Catholic nun whose work was revolutionary and is widely revered. In her classroom, she encouraged her students to see the ordinary as extraordinary and make art from the so-called commonplace around them. She embodied this in her own work-making screen prints and collage that celebrated the values and themes of hope, love, justice, and peace. This picture book biography approaches Corita's life from the point of view of one of her students. From this lens, readers get a sense of what it might have been like to be in the classroom with her-her energy, her inspiring presence, her own fascinations. Paired with this view are illustrations from award-winning artist Melissa Sweet in Corita's style-screen prints and collage-that adorn the pages with splashes of Corita's own words and wisdom"--,Provided by publisher.
