Orla and and myself visted the school today to meet junior infants and senior infants and the Teachers  Meadhbh and Fran. We talked about what an artist is!

“Someone who does good colouring”

“Someone who paints brilliant things”

“Someone who does good writing”

“Someone who sticks things together”

So for the next few weeks we are all going to be busy sharing ideas making work and being artists.

Spring has sprung in St Thomas’s so while jnr and snr infants were filling their pages with colours and images of spring Orla, Meadhbh, Fran and I talked about the space,  what we anticipate, what we plan theme wise amongst other things. The space is great materials seem to be plentiful and varied and the atmosphere very generous spirited and open and excited!The three of us tomorrow will visit Judith’s and Anns school in Banbridge. I think this will be very imformative and will direct us in our appraoch.
