A selection of recently completed handmade stools by TY4 in their craft module. The students used the CNC to personalise the stool tops and got to use some new materials like epoxy to create their designs.
The theme for the 2020 Credit Union Art Competition was “Imagine More”, encouraging entrants to think past the current situation and imagine.
Imagine More is influenced by the creative role art plays in Irish society and encouraged participants to unlock their imagination and look at how art inspires us and our communities. Despite the current challenges, Art has kept people from all walks of life connected and this year’s theme encouraged participants to express this connectivity on paper or canvass.
While technology is constantly giving us new ways of doing things, there are some things that stubbornly stay the same. Take the good old cardboard box, for example: 90 percent of all products shipped in the Ireland are still sent using some type of cardboard packaging. So what do we do with all of it once items have been safely removed from their boxes? Unfortunately, we usually break down the boxes and toss them in recycling—but if we would just give it a little thought, the possibilities are almost endless. Cardboard can be bent, cut, painted, wrapped, and configured in almost any way you can imagine. Upcycled cardboard doesn't have to remain in the realm of kids' play forts or drab storage containers. 2a4 CSPE Class have used their skills and imagination to decorate the Art Room Christmas Tree, School Christmas tree and Christmas trees at home using just newspaper for Papier Mache Figures and cardboard boxes for decorations. Beautiful work, Well Done.
