This week I was invited to be a visiting artist in Hartstown Community School in Dublin. I worked with a bunch of first year students. We made great mono-prints and I talked to them about my experience so far as a practicing artist.
The school has an arts week each year which is intended to bridge the gap between education and the world of art outside school. It is so important that each subject in our schooling is linked to their place in the world outside of school. This contextualization gives students a reason for learning, a platform for questioning, and an understanding of the possibilities and expectations of life after school.
