maryannboyle1 — 2024-05-11 14:41:36 UTC

Finn Valley College Art Teachers Ms Molloy & Ms Quigley have created a new Department Award to celebrate excellence in Art, this is to recognise outstanding creativity & talent. We would love to give everyone a prize but each teacher picked one student from their 1st year. Classes.

This award for 1st years, is to encourage and support as well as allow the students to unleash their creativity.

Both teachers presented Art Bouquets full of wonderful art materials to 1st year art students Mia Olahova Brennan class Montague and Valentyna Yavniuk class McGahern.

The two students created very original and creative book covers of a such a high standard,their passion for art is clear to be seen as well as their critical thinking and problem solving skills, “ Junior Cycle Visual Art allows for Creative Choice”stated Ms Molloy and this is something we would like to celebrate.

Both girls are regulars in lunch time Art Club & always experimenting….

Creative engagement

Donegal Tapestry Weaver Colm Sweeney visited our school as part of the Creative Engagement Initiative to guide transition year students through a weaving project. Students learned about the traditional art of hand weaving with Colm’s expertise and guidance. This included learning to use drop spindles to create their own wool for weaving, learning how wool is dyed, setting up their own looms and creating their own designs. Thanks to Colm, students gained knowledge in the practical application of the craft and possible career opportunities within Donegal. It was great for students to see the process from start to finish of making a tapestry and the links between painting and weaving. The Art of storytelling was highlighted and how weaving can be used as a conduit for community and togetherness. Weaving is a part of Donegal heritage and is becoming more popular with people making more sustainable clothing choices.It is lovely to see young people learning a skill that has been part of our heritage in Donegal for centuries.

2nd years have been busy creating a Sweet themed Exploration page.

Creative Engagement 2025

2025-03-20 12:23:10 UTC

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming local Artist Marina Hamilton from The Blue Horse Gallery https://thebluehorsegallery.com/ for a ceramic workshop with our Transition Year Art class as part of Creative Engagement.

Marina Hamilton is an Equestrian Painter & Sculptor. Her work is inspired by a life-long love of animals. Ms.Coll’s Transition Year Art class had the fantastic opportunity to spend a full day engaging in a ceramics workshop with the Artist.

Each student created two ceramic pieces with lots of character, learning lots of clay techniques in the process such as coiling, slab work & modelling. The work is currently being fired in our Kiln & we look forward to embarking on the glazing process in the coming weeks.
