The Ark, Dublin
7 June – 23 August

Step into Voyages, a unique exhibition curated by children, for children. A joyful, accessible experience where young voices take the lead in the world of art.

To celebrate The Ark’s 30th birthday, twelve young people aged 10 to 17 years, representing current members of the Ark’s Children’s Council and alumni from seven previous councils, took part in seven creative workshops to explore The Ark’s visual art collection, learn about curation, and shape the final exhibition, led by artist and collaborator Róisín White.

The Ark has been on many voyages since opening in 1995 and they have selected diverse artworks spanning across multiple collections to reflect this. Voyages features hand-picked ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, screenprint and mixed media sculptures that were commissioned, purchased by, or donated to The Ark over the last three decades.

Voyages is a playful, inclusive exhibition curated by children, for children (and the young at heart!). It’s a celebration of imagination, curiosity, and what happens when young minds take the wheel.

The Ark

Date: Saturday 21 Oct at 10.30am – 12.30pm

In this CPD workshop for teachers, you will enjoy: Learning some of these new songs which are simple and fun to sing. It can be difficult to find songs in Irish in genres other than traditional; these songs are new and in a variety of music styles.

Join musician Ríona Sally Hartman in discovering music in the classroom anew in this morning CPD workshop for teachers presented through Irish and English. Ríona has created a new collection of original bilingual songs written specifically for use in primary school classrooms with accompanying class activities.

Exploring links to recordings and work-pages to accompany the songs that you can photocopy for use in the classroom. Trying out sample activities to cover all three areas of the music curriculum: listening and responding, performing and composing. Discovering songs for use outside music time, such an “attention grabber” in Irish (a very short call and response song to use when you want to get the class’s attention). Ríona will also bring some examples of other books and CDs that she finds useful in the classroom. There’ll be time to look at these and time for discussion and questions also.

Overall, this fun and inspiring workshop will build your confidence in both your Irish and your singing voice. It is suitable for all levels of experience and the resources shared will work for all primary classes.

Cost: €20 (€18 for ArkEd Members)
