I came back to the rules of Sister Corita, I loved this list when I was in art school and I love it now, reading it again.

Rule I
Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while.

Rule 2

Rule 3
General duties of a teacher: pull everything out of your students.

Rule 4
Consider everything an experiment.

Rule 5
Be self disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them.
To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.

Rule 6
Nothing is a mistake. There is no win and no fail. There’s only make.

Rule 7
The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all the time who will eventually catch on to things.

Rule 8
Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.

Rule 9
Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.

Rule 10
“We’re breaking all of the rules, even our own rules. And how we do that: by leaving plenty of room for X-quantities. “ John Cage

Helpful hints: always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything, it might come in handy later. There should be new rules next week. 15 months ago
