These shoes were made for walking! Second year Art students completed their still life drawings of shoes last week. Any excuse to get non regulation footwear into school! 😉#talent#excellenceineducation@DDLETBColleges@Catheri87909021pic.twitter.com/0SSJ4ANCU1

Our First Year Art Students have been making great progress, completing their first piece for their portfolio! They learned to work with how dark or light a colour or a shade is in their tonal studies of spheres, ribbons and origami. @DDLETBColleges#excellenceineducationpic.twitter.com/UAUJxCN2GV

Art Club

Art Club features in the Extra-Curricular programme offered to all students of Griffeen CC. It takes place each Thursday at lunchtime and gives students an opportunity to create a piece of art of their choice each week or to work on an ongoing piece if they choose. Some beautiful pictures and sculptures have been created and we are very lucky to be able to foster and develop the talents of our young community members.

Here are some fabulous examples of zentangle designs that students have sent in during Wellbeing Week.

These are some wonderful examples of students artwork this year. Art club is on every Tuesday at lunch time and is a space for students to create their own artwork or to work on art projects they’re creating in school. This year many of our art club students entered Art competitions and have developed their own art style.
