6th Year Art student, Stefan Cullinan, explains what his class did when they visited the National Art Gallery on Thursday, 14 January.
Yesterday, 14th January, for our Sixth Year Gallery visit for Leaving Cert Art, we visited the National Gallery of Ireland. It was interesting to see the various different works from a multitude of different artists. We paid particular attention to the Turner Exhibition as it can only be displayed once a year in the month of January, so that the delicate water paints don't get damaged from the sun.

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
