First year installation with Rang Naoise

Rang Naoise recently completed an installation on the theme of the "Natural World" in the prayer room. They used all recyclable and natural materials as well as some donated flowers for the artwork. They worked in groups and created drawings of sections of the prayer room before creating designs for their installations. They were very successful in transforming the prayer room and bringing a palpable influence from the natural world into the space.

Here are some links to artists and artworks we studied for inspiration and to gain an insight into the power of installation art.

Our girls at the southern regional finals of Junk Kouture!

We were so proud to see six of our pupils make it to the southern regional finals of Junk Kouture.

Their costumes were all exceptionally inventive and original, a huge amount of hard work, creativity and imagination went into each one. Well done girls!
