“Handle with Care”, a work from Sister Corita Kent

What is seen in the picture is an art piece made by Korita Kent in 1967. This piece is intended for the public people to see it and grasp the meaning behind it. This piece was created to give a message to people, a religious message in particular. It also tells people to have faith and hope. The message is basically to tell people that Jesus is their protector and rescuer through difficult times, and the fact that he handles and treats people with care, meaning that people are being well taken care of. The circle could be a representation of people, and they are surrounded with these rectangles, representing difficult time. The bright and vibrant green and orange colors are used to show the fact that Jesus Christ will bring brightness and light to people’s lives, and that he will be their savior. Both the green font (serif typeface) and the orange font (sans serif typeface) are chosen and written largely with bold features so that they will be fully effective in the message the artist is trying to transfer to people. However, there is an improvement that could be done for this art piece. The area that some of the orange and green letters overlap make it for the readers a little hard to read the words; so, the way that this piece could be improved is to reduce the number of words written, but in a way that wouldn’t hurt the overall message of the piece, so the words would have more space without overlapping, or very slight overlapping. As a result, the words would be easily readable.
