On Wednesday 28th November 5th & 6th year students traveled to Cork to visit the Crawford art gallery, to view exhibitions that will aid them during the
Leaving Cert Art History exam and meet with tutors and students in Crawford art
college. Thanks to Ms O'Lomasney for great shots of their trip.

At the Cork Crawford Gallery students saw the Greco-Roman Sculpture Casts made circa 1816 by Canova from
originals in the Vatican
Museum. These are the
only ones in Ireland. They also saw paintings from Samuel Forde, Nathaniel Grogan, Jack B.Yeats,
Evie Hone, Mainie Jellet.
They visited the Lavitt Gallery which holds a lot of Irish ceramic artists
work. As the group are working with ceramics at present they got a hands on
experience of the ceramic works in a gallery space, then they got to experience
a ceramic workshop in the Crawford art college and also got to speak with
printmaking tutors and students in their own working studio spaces.
