Artist 

Mentoring

Project

Scoil Ui Mhuiri 

Dunleer, Co.Louth

In April 2019, as part of a Team teaching placement, we as education students were asked to complete a side project called 'Artist Mentoring' where senior cycle students had the opportunity to partake in extra art classes and explore their options career wise.  Katie and myself worked to plan a simplistic yet detailed unit based on one's identity, which we explored through mono-printing and painting techniques, asking students to question the concept of a portrait and introducing them to artists beyond the senior cycle art history curriculum that would inspire them.

At the end of the academic year, the students work was presented and an exhibition took place on the grounds of NCAD, displaying the work.

Our two mentees, Zach and Mikey, were able to reflect and evaluate our work as training teachers after the placement, and below is a presentation of the work, displaying their statements...
