Carrigallen Student Portraits

SHOW US THE PAINT!

A BODY OF WORK CREATED BY TRANSITION YEAR ART STUDENTS FROM CARRIGALLEN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Materials: Acrylic and mixed media on canvas.

Each student has painted a self-portrait, twenty -four in total.

The Brief: Paint a self-portrait based on your reaction to a newspaper article you have recently read.

Each student started their painting from scratch, they made the stretcher, stretched and primed the canvas and then proceeded to paint. This was a challenging project for these students (most had not studied art before), they began with some trepidation but soon got involved in the process. They have titled their exhibition “SHOW US THE PAINT!” an appropriate title showing their willingness to learn and to try new things
