THE EXPERIENCE AND REFLECT

I had the amazing opportunity to bring my 1st year students to the National Gallery of Ireland, and the experience was truly incredible. As an educator, I trusted the visit to incorporate the art elements that I wanted my students to learn, and I am pleased to say that it was a success.

During the visit, I made sure to focus on specific art elements that I hoped my students would gain a deeper understanding of. I wanted them to see how color, line, shape, form, and texture all played a role in the artwork on display. I also hoped that they would learn about the history and cultural significance behind the various pieces.
