Art Workshops by Artist-in-Residence, Helen Caird, with Three City-based
Schools
Artist Helen Caird has arranged with each school to undertake an art workshop whereby the
children involved will create either a painting, a drawing or a collage piece
envisioning
the next 25 years of Terryland Forest Park as the same was done with children
who
attended these schools at the time of the park’s launch 25 years ago.
The workshops will take place as follows:
Scoil San Phroinsias, Tirellan Heights: Helen will be doing a workshop with 4th Class pupils on
Friday 2nd of May.
Castlegar National School: - Helen will be doing a workshop with 6th Class
pupils on
Wednesday 7th of May.;
St. Nicholas’ Parochial School, Woodquay - Helen will be doing a workshop with 6th Class
pupils on
Wednesday 14th of May.
Once all the workshops are completed, Helen will select a number of artworks to
be
displayed on the day of the official ceremony which will take place on
Thursday, 5th of
June and will be attended by the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins. All
the artworks from all three schools, however, will be archived.
