ST. BRIGID’S SCHOOL
“Declan worked with a group of our TY students as part of the Creative Engagement project. He was incredible easy to work with from the application process to the duration of the workshop.
It was really important for us in the Art department that the girls had the opportunity to create a personal expressive piece of work using new media and techniques to them. Declan was fantastic at creating a space where the girls could tease out their ideas and experiment with oil pastels. The step by step demos and teaching style meant that all students were able to follow the process and create a completed outcome. They enjoyed the freedom and artist studio atmosphere which Declan creates with his personable approach.
As a teacher it was a great CPD opportunity for me too, Declan was very generous at sharing his knowledge and skills with me. I look forward to building on the experience in future pastel lessons.
The 16 paintings now decorate the corridor leading down towards my art room and it lifts the visual environment of the school building.”
