It’s not too late to send a postcard to your local TD! Although the state has promised legislation by the end of July, a continuous flow of reminders would not hurt one bit.

A huge thank you everyone who both assisted and attended the exhibition. To Gillian, Cillian, Clodagh, Finola and all the staff of Prosper Fingal, without your support this project could not have been possible. To our amazing students who we will miss so dearly, thank you for welcoming us with such enthusiasm and for making every Friday such an invaluable and enjoyable experience. We cannot praise you enough for creating such pure and beautiful work, we can only hope that you are as proud of your art as we are and continue to enjoy and value what you create.

For the third and final class we made graphic scores to the student’s favorite songs. This was so much fun and promoted fluid and spontaneous output to be exhibited communicating visually and encouraging students who may have trouble with verbal communication.

Graphic Scores:

JLS, PSY, Michael Jackson, S Club 7, James Arthur, Ed Sheeran, Pussycat Dolls, Jedward, One Direction.

To encourage students to express themselves visually and to learn to value creative output by introducing practices that the students would not other wise have the opportunity to experience.

As artists who each have a sibling with Down Syndrome we are interested in how creativity and learning disabilities can intersect to encourage self expression and self confidence.

In line with the HSE’s ‘New Directions’ project we would like to work with students of Prosper Fingal Swords towards an exhibition which would take place in the city centre in February. The project is separate to our course work and we are running it independently.

Our aims and objectives are as follows;

1) Use our experiences as contemporary art makers to introduce the students to practices they would not otherwise encounter, and that we are sure they would enjoy e.g. expressive painting, printing, casting and textile printing.

2) Encourage the students, who may have trouble with verbal communication, to express themselves visually and creatively.

3) Teach the students to value their creative output. We hope that by curating a professional exhibition with them they will feel proud of their work, and are encourage to make more art work.

4) Encourage the students to get more involved in the institutions of art. We would like for the project to inspire the students to get involved in community art classes, visit more exhibitions etc. These experiences would offer the students a new way of looking at the world around them, alongside development of their independence and community involvement.

The project will commence on January 25th and will consist of three Friday workshops. We plan to work with the eleven students in the 10am - 1pm art class. We expect the exhibition to take place on the week of the 11th of February and are currently researching potential venues.
