Art and Crafts

Arts Education is presented under three subject headings: visual arts, drama and music. Please see separate page on this school website for Music.

Arts education enables our boys at Scoil Iósaif Naofa to express ideas, feelings and experiences in language, gesture and movement. Together with music and the visual arts, the use of drama in the classroom encourages the child to express ideas that are creative and explorative. The Arts Education curriculum explores pathways to learning that involve reflection, imagination and sensitivity. Learning through the arts facilitates the use of a range of intelligences.

Art

Art helps the pupils develop sensitivity to the visual and tactile world. As part of the curriculum, we cover all strands, including drawing, paint and colour, print, clay, construction and fabric and fibre. Here are some examples of the great work each class are doing.
