Primary School Placement - 2017

This placement occurred in St. Patrick's Girls National School in Dublin 4.

We were given a partner to teach alongside in this placement and an artist that we had to base the work on. This was my first experience of peer teaching. We were assigned a large 4th class group.

The project taught was based on the artist Eugene Van Mieghem whose work was based on the port at Antwerp. The work created consisted of large mobiles made from paper art based on elements of the port. This included birds, boats and fish. Following the creation of the mobiles the girls wrote letters with questions they would ask the artist if they were ever to meet him.
