Ms. Keogh visits the Tate Modern in London

Ms. Keogh was in London last week and paid a visit to the Tate Modern art gallery. Below is a range of work that she saw by various modern artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Litchenstein, Piet Mondrien, and in particular some examples of Cubism by Pablo Picasso whose work the 5th years have just started studying in their art history classes. Of course there was also some very random pieces to see that can be a challenge for anybody to understand!!!

5th Year Lino Scheme

Ms. Keogh's 5th Year class worked on a lino scheme earlier this year. They were given a variety of themes from the last 3 years of Leaving Certificate craft papers - the block printing questions. The class worked very hard at the project and all completed a prep sheet, preliminary sheet and mounted their best two prints after their printing session. Good work girls, the end result was very successful with a great amount of variety between all of the prints.

TY Pop Art Portraits

The TY art class painted these Andy Warhol influenced self portraits back in January using bold and vivid acrylic paints.
