| Brief Description: | Corita - Teh Rules for Students and Teachers: On Teaching and Celebration
Two Films by Baylis Glascock:
We Have No Art - 26 minutes
(filmed in 1967 at Immaculate Heart College, Los Angeles)
From Marshall McLuhan, Corita quotes the Baln\inese saying, "We have no art, we do everything as well as we can." She comments, "I think that should be our motto for the art department... You see, you don't have art off in a special category. " She says, "Ideas can come from anywhere." Here Pop Art serigraphs famously use advertising slogans and imagery, as well as words from literature and the news. Her 'happenings' heighten awsareness for a classroom or an auditorium of 500. Her drawing class visits a car wash for an exercise in looking. Her way of teaching is always a work in progress. To 'Some Rules and Helpful Hints for Students and Teachers' by John Cage, she adds, "There should be new rules next week."
