some rules
Rules carry with them the heavy baggage of obedience and it’s tricky accessory disobedience. Rules presuppose there is a right and a wrong, this is not good in the creative world. But while rules per se are obstructive; hints, guides, aphorisms and other such condensed wisdom is always a good thing, to read if not necessarily to adhere to.
Here are some good rules from an art college attached to the Immaculate Heart Convent in Los Angeles, Amerikay. You know the way art colleges are always connected to religious retreats…
These were written by a nun with a difference, Sister Corita Kent, who was teaching, at the time, in the art college.
Thanks Hi and Low

I don't like rules generally. But these are rules we should all live by. Hurrah.
