Artist Mentoring
As an art mentor you are facilitating the students creativity, guiding them through a process, encouraging them to experiment and learn from mistakes, helping them to expand their ideas and to realise new work using different materials and methods through the use of collaborative teaching of two BA students
Colaiste Eoin Finglas
Colaiste Eoin is a inter denominational post primary school with an enrolment of 650. The school body strives to create a respectful ,safe and caring educational environment . Colaiste Eoin fosters effective teaching and learning in an inclusive community ,where students and staff are encouraged to reach their full potential. They endeavour to support students in becoming self-confident , inquiring , independent, tolerant individuals who respect the differences of others.

Due to Covid this placement was cut short and therefore these samples below are small windows into the research work .
