LCA Lino Printing!

I have to say, I am so proud of my LCA students for their wonderful lino prints - they have turned out absolutely perfectly! Really marvellous examples of printing, as well as texture and contrast. Well done!!

1st year Patterns!

Fab patterns designed by my first years - all unique and colourful! Great work!

Christmas time

The tree in its final stages! Many thanks to all the students who helped in the making of this!

Recycled Christmas Tree

Our marvellous Christmas tree made from cardboard boxes after the art department delivery, paper maché, paint and then decorated with paper decorations. A collaborative effort by LCA1, TY, and first year students. Looks fab! Pic of the finished piece to come!

Symbolic Self-Portraits!

Some fantastic examples of self-portraiture by my 4th years: they each had to create a piece that said something about their personalities and interests.

LCA Hats - completed!

Here are some of the LCA hats in their completed stage - as you can see they are all really unusual and unique. A range of materials have been used to give them their final decorations, such as paint, buttons, ribbons, feathers, fabric and glitter. They've turned out brilliantly!

Art Club!

Art Club is back! I started it up at the beginning of this year: it runs on a Thursday after school and gives students a chance to work in the art room and use the materials. At the moment there are students making masks, working on their own paintings, designing souvenir boxes, perfecting Junior Cert Projects and making Portfolios.
As you can see from the pictures, everyone's really busy creating some lovely and unique work!

LCA Hat Project

The LCA hats are turning out really well, and I'll upload images of the finished pieces soon.

Ghoulish Face Painting

Here are the results of TY's fantastic face-painting exercise! Brilliant results and really really spooky, which is exactly what I was hoping for. No bunny rabbits or kittens here - it's horror all the way! Congrats to those who had the nerve to participate, and then to attend the table quiz after.
