We Looked at and Responded to the work of several artists while exploring the theme of apples.

We used our usual questions and concept skills and also some of our own, remembering past art work at school or works we know from other art classes and adventures outside school.

Thanks to Cas McCarthy for her inspiration for some, and visits to museums and galleries for others.

We got our art pallets out- the ones Joe Mongan made for the school almost twenty years ago are still going strong!

We placed Tony Dunne’s father’s apples centre table, found the light source and got colour mixing. Thanks for the apples, they went onto make apple jelly!

We painted the apples from observation (one of the key objectives of the visual art curriculum, and an accelerator through the stages of drawing development)

The children made amazing, unique and individual pieces reflecting a maturity in their work that’s quite remarkable.

We are superb artists!
