Refine by Region Refine by Art Form Refine by School Level Learning About Learning Context Dominican Primary School (DPS) is a DEIS (Dep. of Education and Skills) co-educational primary school. The Junior Infants class consists of 18 students, 12 of those are learning English as an additional language (EAL). DEIS schools address and prioritize the educational needs of children and young people from disadvantaged communities. DPS is concerned with the education of the whole person. It aims to provide opportunities for each child to reach his or her full potential, by exposing them to a wide variety of opportunities that develops and develops their overall growth and self-esteem. The artist Helen Barry is based in the school through DLRCC’s DLR Primary Arts that supports a long-term artist in residence programme of 24 contact hours over a 4to 5 month period. This has been extended through the Artist at Work residency programme in DLR Lexicon Library where the Helen is currently based. Within walking distance from the school and this offers a further 14 contact hours in the school and in DLR Lexicon’s Project Room. Timeframe The artist commenced in Dominican Primary School in November 2014 and will continue through until May or June 2015. We meet weekly mostly based in the school and some sessions are based in DLR Lexicon. Our Vision We learn by doing and we learn from each other. Using a child centred and child led approach to: - Exploring how children learn through the creative interplay of pedagogical tools used in the classroom and identifying and creating new ones. - Introducing children to an array of traditional and non-traditional art materials and techniques as they explore who they are and the world around them. - Channeling the energy, observations and ideas into creating a piece of work together. Documenting DLR Primary Arts supports the learning, observations and experience through a blog. The children, artist and teacher will all contribute to the blog. We will also invite others to record their observations of the process and impact it is having on the children, teacher\s and artist through the school principal, parents, teachers, and arts office and library staff. We are using a multi disciplinary approach and will be able to record the spoken word, written word, sounds and images and moving images. The Teacher As a class teacher working in a DEIS school I feel it is important to participate and work in partnership with others, in education in promoting social inclusion for the children I teach. DLR Primary Arts (creative practitioner project) and Artist At Work workshops with Helen are providing a wonderful and enriching experience for the children and for me as a teacher. Helen’s expertise and artistic insight as an artist has changed my own opinion on art education especially in the early years. I feel it is important to highlight the large number of children learning English as an additional language in the class, which presents its own challenges for me as a teacher and brings its own frustrations to the children. The artistic process involved with each sessions allows children of all abilities and backgrounds to express their personal ideas, co-operate and communicate with their peers and adults and express their uniqueness in a positive learning environment. The sessions with Helen are providing a great means for communication for the children while reducing their frustrations of language and allowing their competance and confidence to grow. Helen’s use of the aistear principles which guide her practise and sessions are very much child-centred and child led. Literacy, SPHE and mathematical language are integrated as well as the Visual Art strands. The Children would also like to share their own opinions and experiences working on the projects… “Me and Angeline made a castle”, Zhya 5yrs “I like the Lexicon library because we made things”, Holly 5yrs “The tubes are fun I made a bridge”, Amanda 5yrs “We do lots of cutting and making things”, Daivik 4yrs “I like collecting stuff and making things”, Alma 5yrs “Helen plays with us”, Brooke 4yrs The Artist: WE ARE I observe I listen I watch I am open I am inspired We talk We plan We ask We make We are challenged We are patient We are open We explore We build We stick We poke We cry We laugh We reflect They argue We learn We support We are creative We give We work We struggle We are honest They are brutally honest I am exhausted We are energetic We get more help We are synergetic We are content We are inspired WE ARE. Helen Barry 2015 ‘We Are’ is a poem that best captures what happens throughout my collaborative practice and offers the basis for the language which best describes my methodology. My methodology and my approach to collaborative work with early years children is similar to that of Aistear: the early years curriculum framework. I have also done extensive reading of the curriculum focusing on the early cycle of the primary school. I believe that the teaching methodology and application in the classroom runs parallel to the work and process that happens in the artists’ studio. I am learning about learning, how we learn and what we learn. I have started at the beginning and I am learning with the children, she is my teacher too. I listen to the children deciphering language through photonics. The lengthening of words like fly, cat, jump; elongated they create beautiful rhythms their tone is set by the hum of the children’s voice, each word held for a prolonged moment. This has become the impetus for a piece of work we are creating together in the school and DLR LexIcon. Spotlight Artist(s): Helen Barry Helen Barry is a visual artist who engages in a collaborative practice with early years children. Together they explore many of the themes and ideas Helen is working on in the studio through innovative and child centred workshops. In turn this offers her a level of honesty, challenges and stimuli that inspires her studio work whilst creating new and ambitious works with the children. She is currently looking at how the ebb and flow of the collaborative process is similar to the rhythm and energy required in developing a piece of artwork in the studio from its inception through to creating the finished piece. Helen has over 25 years experience working with children and adults through the arts and creative play. Her belief that creativity is essential for the pedagogical and emotional development of the child inspired her to develop a number of early years initiatives. Helen received a YPCA bursary from The Arts Council to support her work in 2013. Upcoming projects includes the development of an early years and family programme for dlr Lexicon’s upcoming show Matisse: Drawing With Scissors.

In 2008 the Arts Office partnered with Blackrock Education Centre on delivering the dlr Primary Arts Programme across the County. This programme is supported by the Arts Council. The main purpose of the programme is to facilitate the collaboration of a professional Creative Practitioner (e.g. a Dance, a Visual Artist, a Musician or a Writer) with a primary school class and teacher to explore creativity in the classroom through various artforms. Central to the programme are the professional development sessions with the participating teachers delivered in Blackrock Education Centre. www.dlrprimaryarts.wordpress.com for further details.

Caolaigh de réir réigiúin Caolaigh le Foirm Ealaíne Caolaigh le leibhéal na Scoile Learning About Learning Comhthéacs Bunscoil chomhoideachais DEIS (an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna) í Dominican Primary School (DPS). Tá 18 ndalta i rang na Naíonán Sóisearach, agus tá dháréag díobh ag foghlaim Béarla mar theanga bhreise. Tugann scoileanna DEIS aghaidh ar riachtanais oideachais leanaí agus daoine óga ó phobail faoi mhíbhuntáiste agus tugtar tús áite dóibh. Díríonn DPS ar oideachas an duine iomláin. Tá sé d’aidhm aici deiseanna a chur ar fáil do gach páiste chun a lánacmhainneacht a bhaint amach, ach réimse leathan deiseanna a thabhairt dóibh a fhorbraíonn a bhfás agus a bhféinmhuinín ina n-iomláine. Tá an t-ealaíontóir Helen Barry lonnaithe sa scoil trí DLR Primary Arts de chuid Chomhairle Contae Dhún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin a thacaíonn le clár ealaíontóra chónaithe fhadtéarmach ina mbíonn 24 uair theagmhála thar thréimhse ceithre go cúig mhí. Leathnaíodh é seo tríd an gclár cónaithe Artist at Work i Leabharlann DLR LexIcon ina bhfuil Helen lonnaithe faoi láthair. Is féidir siúl chomh fada léi ón scoil agus tugann sé seo 14 uair theagmhála bhreise sa scoil agus i Seomra Tionscadail DLR LexIcon. Achar Ama Thosaigh an t-ealaíontóir i DPS i mí na Samhna 2014 agus leanfaidh sí ar aghaidh go dtí mí na Bealtaine nó mí an Mheithimh 2015. Casaimid le chéile go seachtainiúil sa scoil de ghnáth agus bíonn cuid de na seisiúin i DLR LexIcon. Ár bhFís: Foghlaimímid trí dhéanamh agus foghlaimímid óna chéile. Úsáidtear cur chuige páistelárnach atá á threorú ag an bpáiste ina leith seo a leanas: - Scrúdú a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a bhfoghlaimíonn leanaí trí idirphlé cruthaitheach uirlisí oideolaíocha a úsáidtear sa seomra ranga agus cinn nua a shainaithint agus a chruthú. - Deis a thabhairt do pháistí réimse leathan ábhar agus teicnící ealaíne traidisiúnta agus neamhthraidisiúnta a úsáid den chéad uair agus iad ag fiosrú cé hiad féin agus céard atá sa domhan mórthimpeall orthu. - An fuinneamh, na breathnóireachtaí agus na smaointe a thabhairt le chéile chun saothar ealaíne a chruthú le chéile. Taifead Tacaíonn DLR Primary Arts le foghlaim, le breathnóireacht agus leis an taithí le blag. Cuirfidh na páistí, an t-ealaíontóir agus an múinteoir leis an mblag. Tabharfaimid cuireadh do dhaoine eile a dtuairimí faoin bpróiseas a thaifead agus an tionchar atá á imirt aige ar na páistí, ar an múinteoir/na múinteoirí agus ar an ealaíontóir trí phríomhoide na scoile, tuismitheoirí, múinteoirí agus foireann na leabharlainne agus na hoifige ealaíne. Táimid ag úsáid cur chuige ildisciplíneach agus beimid in ann caint ó bhéal, an focal scríofa, fuaimeanna agus íomhánna agus íomhánna gluaisteacha. An Múinteoir Mar mhúinteoir ranga i scoil DEIS airím go bhfuil sé tábhachtach páirt a ghlacadh agus oibriú i gcomhar le daoine eile san oideachas chun cuimsiú sóisialta a chur chun cinn do na páistí a mhúinim. Tá DLR Primary Arts (tionscadal cleachtóra chruthaithigh) agus ceardlanna Artist At Work le Helen ag cur taithí iontach a chuireann lena saol ar fáil do na páistí agus domsa mar mhúinteoir. Tá saineolas Helen agus a léargas ealaíonta mar ealaíontóir tar éis mo dhearcadh féin faoin oideachas ealaíne a athrú, go háirithe sna luathbhlianta. Braithim go bhfuil sé tábhachtach béim a leagan ar an líon mór páistí atá ag foghlaim Béarla mar theanga bhreise sa rang, a chruthaíonn dúshlán ann féin domsa mar mhúinteoir agus a chuireann frustrachas dá chuid féin ar an páistí. Mar gheall ar an bpróiseas ealaíonta a bhaineann le gach seisiún, bíonn na páistí ar fad, beag beann ar a gcumas agus ar a gcúlra, in ann a smaointe féin a chur in iúl, comhoibriú agus cumarsáid a dhéanamh lena gcomhscoláirí agus le daoine fásta, agus a n-uathúlacht a chur in iúl i dtimpeallacht foghlama dhearfach. Tá na seisiúin le Helen ag cur modh iontach cumarsáide ar fáil do na páistí agus ag laghdú a bhfrustrachas teanga ag an am céanna, a ligeann dá n-inniúlacht agus dá muinín fás agus forbairt. Bíonn an úsáid a bhaineann Helen as prionsabail Aistear, a threoraíonn a cleachtas agus a seisiúin, páistelárnach agus á dtreorú ag na páistí go hiomlán. Comhtháthaítear an Litearthacht, OSPS agus teanga mhatamaiticiúil chomh maith le snáitheanna na nAmharc-ealaíon. Na Páistí Ba mhaith leo siúd a dtuairimí agus a dtaithí féin ar a n-obair ar na tionscadail a roinnt... “Rinne mé féin agus Angeline caisleán,” Zhya, 5 bliana “Is maith liom Leabharlann LexIcon mar go ndearnamar rudaí ann,” Holly, 5 bliana “Bhí spraoi leis na tiúba, rinne mé droichead,” Amanda 5 bliana “Bímid ag gearradh agus ag déanamh rudaí go minic,” Daivik, 4 bliana “Is maith liom stuif a bhailiú agus rudaí a dhéanamh,” Alma, 5 bliana “Bíonn Helen ag spraoi linn,” Brooke, 4 bliana. An tEalaíontóir WE ARE I observe I listen I watch I am open I am inspired We talk We plan We ask We make We are challenged We are patient We are open We explore We build We stick We poke We cry We laugh We reflect They argue We learn We support We are creative We give We work We struggle We are honest They are brutally honest I am exhausted We are energetic We get more help We are synergetic We are content We are inspired WE ARE. Helen Barry 2015 Dán é ‘We Are’ a léiríonn an méid a tharlaíonn le linn mo chleachtais chomhoibríoch agus tugann sé bunús na teanga a dhéanann an cur síos is fearr ar mo mhodheolaíocht. Tá mo mhodheolaíocht agus mo chur chuige i leith obair chomhoibríoch le páistí luathbhlianta cosúil le Aistear: Creatchuraclam na Luath-Óige. Táim tar éis an curaclam a léamh go forleathan freisin ag díriú ar shraith luath na bunscoile. Creidim go bhfuil modheolaíocht agus cur i bhfeidhm an teagaisc sa seomra ranga ar aon dul leis an obair agus leis an bpróiseas a tharlaíonn i stiúideonna ealaíontóirí. Táim ag foghlaim faoin bhfoghlaim, faoin gcaoi a bhfoghlaimímid, agus faoi céard a fhoghlaimímid. Thosaigh mé ag an tús agus táim ag foghlaim leis na páistí, is ise mo mhúinteoirse freisin. Éistim leis na páistí ag baint ciall as teanga trí fhótóinic. Fadú na bhfocal ar nós fly, cat, jump; cruthaíonn siad rithimí áille nuair a fhadaítear iad, agus socraíonn dordán ghuth na bpáistí a dtuin, nuair a choinnítear gach focal ar feadh nóiméad fadaithe. Ba é seo spreagadh an tsaothair atá á chruthú againn le chéile sa scoil agus i DLR LexIcon. Spotsolas Ealaíontóir(í): Helen Barry Amharc-ealaíontóir í Helen Barry a bhíonn páirteach i gcleachtas le páistí luathbhlianta. Iniúchann siad go leor de na téamaí agus smaointe ar a bhfuil Helen ag obair sa stiúideo i dteannta a chéile trí cheardlanna nuálacha atá páistelárnach. Dá bharr sin tugtar leibhéal ionraice, dúshlán agus spreagtha di a spreagann a hobair stiúideo agus í ag cruthú saothar nua uaillmhianacha leis na páistí. Tá sí ag breathnú ar an gcaoi a mbíonn tuile agus trá an phróisis chomhoibríoch cosúil leis an rithim agus fuinneamh a theastaíonn chun saothar ealaíne a fhorbairt sa stiúideo ó cuirtear tús leis go gcuirtear an saothar i gcrích. Tá os cionn 25 bliana taithí ag Helen ar bheith ag obair le páistí agus le daoine fásta trí na healaíona agus trí spraoi cruthaitheach. Spreag a creideamh go bhfuil an chruthaitheacht riachtanach d’fhorbairt oideolaíoch agus mhothúchánach an pháiste í le tionscnaimh éagsúla luathbhlianta a fhorbairt. Fuair Helen sparánacht DÓLO ón gComhairle Ealaíon chun tacú lena cuid oibre in 2013. Áirítear leis na tionscadail atá ar na bacáin forbairt cláir luathbhlianta agus teaghlaigh do sheó a léireoidh DLR LexIcon go luath, Matisse: Drawing With Scissors.
