Wednesday marked day 1 of ART WEEK 2019. Midleton College had the pleasure of welcoming artists @cassandreustace & @carolannhealy to engage students in a sketchbook workshop. Our Form 5 & 4 students experimented with many different approaches to drawing, from ‘taking a line for a walk’ to ‘blind drawing’. This experience will help our young artists create more personal & useful sketchbooks in the future.

Day two of ART WEEK was a busy one, our Form 2 students continued with their Creative Engagement project with artists Belinda & Lucy focusing on stop motion animation. We also had a visit from Arts in Education Portal who filmed our work so far. 

After that, textile artist Sara O’Hara came to give our Form 1 Art students a lesson in appliqué where they started their self portraits! 

Our easels returned to the dining hall & reception areas to show off our Artworks of the Day- these showcase the vast talent of our students here in Midleton College. (pics in gallery)
