Corita Kent Complementary Color Art

Today for its Google doodle, Google chose to feature the art and life of artist Corita Kent.  To celebrate the work of Ms. Kent, we'll be using COMPLEMENTARY color pairs of your choice to create a piece of art inspired by Kent.  Additionally, we'll use her own words as the text for these pieces.

HELPFUL HINTS: ALWAYS BE AROUND. COME OR GO TO EVERY- THING. 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.
