“ORGANIC”
2nd Year Art Exhibitors |
Welcome to the brand new St. Patrick's
Comprehensive Art Department blog! We encourage you to explore our forum for
showcasing our extremely talented art students’ creative skills and engage with
their progression through the learning process. Here you will observe current
projects as they come to fruition and students discussing their views on what
inspires them. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our creative labour!

Our first blog post is dedicated to the opening
of the schools new “gallery space”. Staff & management recently assessed
the school grounds for a fresh and
inviting space that would be suitable for exhibiting our students completed art
work. Due to the extensive natural light sources radiating through the space
and the regular flow of potential viewers it was decided that our student
cafeteria was the perfect space! The first step in the creation of our new
gallery included a “makeover” of the
wall space and fixtures. A brave colour selection was made for our feature wall:
pistachio green accented with a soft chalky cream.

Once our interior update was completed the space
really came to life with our debut exhibition entitled “ Organic”, a selection of vibrant fruit and vegetable compositions
created by our 2nd Year artists in the richly layered medium of oil
pastels.
Students were given a brief to choose either a
piece of fruit or a vegetable and create an observational study of the shape,
colour, form, texture & tone.
Truly amazing results were achieved and students
really adapted to this new medium which reflects their artistic ability in an
aesthetically pleasing manner.
Twelve of our artists pieces are currently on
display in our new gallery and are due for rotation soon in order to display
our remaining artists work, this method encourages our students to create new
& exciting work and keeps our viewers engaged as the exhibits change.
Parents & family are always welcome to view
the exhibits and work will be updated regularly on our blog.
