Congrats and well done to the L.C.A class for their hard work and effort putting their work on display in the School assembly. The exhibition was a fantastic achievement and huge success,with all school students and staff admiring the beautiful works. This was also part of their general education task so best of luck to all the students who will be interviewed on Friday about this task. Here are some pics from todays events.
Leaving Cert Applied are currently working on their "Identity and Self " art projects. By using a camera and using the pop art app the change the setting to create fun and exciting self portraits.From here using the white board the students then trace their faces onto black card and begin to paint them.
They are working at a great pace and their work is coming on brillantly!! HERE is just a small sample of their work so far...
In addition to the portraits students are also making hand sculptures ,here are some examples before they are painted
Here is a lovely clip of some of the self-portrait paintings produced by Vincent Van Gogh over his lifetime
Other famous examples of Artists who painted them selves were
Lucian Freud
He painted many landscapes and portraits of other people but he was 65 when he did his first self-portrait,.He likes to work on very large canvases.
Irish Artist Colin Davidson
Since 2010, Davidson has specialised in oversized realist portraits that, with heavy brush strokes and imprecise application, appear to capture the essence of its subject as if by accident. Look long enough, and you'd swear they blink.

“If somebody says when looking at a painting of mine they sense the spirit of the person in it, I can’t lay claim to that,” says Davidson. “It’s the bits I leave, those unfinished bits or parts that are less than perfect which allow people in to fill the gaps.”
He explains that his sittings don’t involve sitting still for hours holding an apple. Instead, he encourages movement and interaction. He talks to the sitter and while all that is happening he hopes to find a moment that he can focus on. Often he will do 10 to 20 sketches, he will take photos, and then take it all away to his studio where the portrait is painted.
“I’m looking at how they work,” he explains. “How the face works but actually more important for me, I’m looking for the moment when they are seemingly unaware of me being there, if that makes sense, the moment they are totally at home in their own thoughts, and that’s the moment I’m striving to paint. With people who are well-known who we see in movies and the like, it somehow makes them very human and I hope it’s the most honest view of them, I suppose. It’s them as an equal.”
