Visual Art Activity Resource and singing resource

Fingal Arts Office commissioned three new digital resources for children and families on the occasion of Cruinniú na nÓg 2020, which took place on Saturday 13^th of June.

I’m now delighted to share these with you.

They are great fun and very accessible. And suitable for a wide age range. (including Mammies, Daddies and grandparents!)

Best wishes

Visual Art Activity Resource, Exploring the artwork of Sol Le Witt with artist Anne Cradden.

Take a colourful journey of geometric shapes and patterns by exploring the work of artist Sol LeWitt. Sol was an artist who began working in the 1950s and became most well-known for huge abstract drawings that he made by drawing directly on to walls! These drawings were based on sets of instructions written by the artist. In this workshop, you’ll take a closer look at LeWitt’s work to understand his ideas and how he produced his art. Using your imagination, found materials from home, and a pinch of magic, you’ll be inspired to create a drawing or sculpture guided by our artist Anne.
