From Frida Kahlo to Pablo Picasso, from Impressionism to Pop Art, this summer course is designed to support teachers with the Looking & Responding Strand Units of the Visual Arts Curriculum. Learn how well-known works of art and free online resources can enhance pupil engagement with practical and fun activities from infant level to sixth class.

Bring world famous art galleries into your classroom and learn how the visual arts can assist in children’s development in communication, critical thinking and interpretation. Using guiding tools, teachers will be shown how visual art appreciation can play a supporting role in literacy and numeracy, facilitate the development of language and vocabulary, and be integrated with other subjects including SPHE, Music, History and Geography.
