Fourth and Fifth years are heading to Dublin for a gallery trip on 24th November. We are going to The Moderns exhibition in the Irish Museum of Modern Art, so you should be prepared by having a look at the gallery website www.imma.ie
As well as looking at the exhibition (under current exhibitions) you should download and read some of the What Is...? series booklets to find out about some different forms of modern art: www.imma.ie/en/subnav_112.htm
The Hugh Lane gallery have a useful guide to answering the Leaving Cert gallery question which you should all read before we go too. You can download it and more Leaving Cert notes here: www.hughlane.ie/education.php?heading=Guided%20Tours&type=Leaving%20Cert%20Groups&rsno=4
It would also be a good idea for everyone (not just 4th & 5th Years) to have a look at gallery and museum websites to keep in touch with what exhibitions and events are going on and often get some useful exam notes. The main Irish ones are www.nationalgallery.ie, www.hughlane.ie, www.museum.ie and www.crawfordartgallery.ie (Cork) but there are many smaller ones worth investigating around the country too: www.backstage.ie (Longford) www.roscommonartscentre.ie (Roscommon) www.thedock.ie (Carrick-on-Shannon). Most exhibitions are free, try to make time to visit a few. There are also some great international gallery websites which have loads of valuable resources for the Junior Cert support studies and Leaving Cert art history, try searching and see what you find.
