Animation '09

Well done to everyone who participated in this year’s workshops!!

The Summer Programme for Children presents three weeks of animation workshops using stop motion animation techniques.

These workshops are designed and facilitated by artist, Julie Forrester. Over the course of a week each participants can make a number of art animations, which are then burnt onto dvds to take home.

Julie Forrester has worked as a board member of Kids Own Publishing and is a passionate children’s advocate. The workshops explore narratives with children using stop-motion animation techniques and web publishing. The workshops cross media; sound, construction, photography and lighting, and allow children to build entire worlds, to engage imaginatively with materials and narrative and even self publish.

Move your mouse over the area below to click play, and view a selection of last year's animations.

The Crawford Art Gallery is delighted to participate in Bealtaine, a nationwide celebration of creativity in older age.



Each week, our experienced guide Eilis Ni Longaigh and artist Julie Forrester will examine key works of art in the gallery, creating entry points for participants.

Each session consists of a focused tour, time for tea, scone and a chat in the gallery café and an optional hands on session (all materials supplied). These sessions are open to everyone and last year we welcomed over 120 participants.

BEALTAINE SCHEDULE
Thursday 6 May : Flamboyant Form
The talk will focus on John ffrench - one of Ireland’s foremost ceramic artists who broke new ground in the 1950’s with his experimental style and vivid colours. The hands-on session will focus on using clay to hand build ceramic vessels.  
Thursday 13 May : Hand Eye, the informing spirit
Seamus Murphy’s portrait work in clay demonstrates a deep sympathy and understanding of the character and personality of his sitter. The tour will be followed by an artist-led clay workshop with a life model.
Thursday 20 May : A life in Colour
In 1957 John ffrench sailed to India and spent three years there teaching and learning. The colours of India had a lifelong effect on his art. The tour will return to the collection of ceramics by John ffrench focusing on colour. The workshop will introduce the participants from week one, to the use of coloured glazes.
Thursday 27 May : The Spirit of Colour and Emotion
Mainie Jellett belief in the spiritual value of colour was the driving force in her work and through colour harmony and tonal balance she created works of extraordinary force and beauty. The Gallery tour will take a close look at one of her abstract compositions and the stained glass of James Scanlon. The focus of the workshop will be on the creation of colourful compositions in a range of media.

We ask for a 3 euro contribution for tea and scones and booking is essential.

[ARCHIVED EVENT]Getting on with art

Conversations on Practicalities Through Practice

Date:    Friday 26 March 2010
Venue:  Stack Theatre : Cork School of Music, Union Quay, Cork
Time:    2:30 pm - 6.00 pm

http://gettingonwithart.wordpress.com/
gettingonwithart@hotmail.com

Getting on With Art is a collaboration between three of Cork’s visual Arts Organisations; the Crawford Art Gallery; the Crawford College of Art & Design and the National Sculpture Factory.

This event is free and open to all. Booking is on a first come, first served basis. Advance booking for more than 5 people is recommended via gettingonwithart@hotmail.com

This artist-led seminar provides an opportunity to discuss the experiences and insights of professional artists. Through a series of presentations and conversations, participants will look at the fundamentals, benefits and pitfalls in establishing a career as a visual artist in Ireland. The seminar aims to address the practicalities of art practice, offering a straightforward and pragmatic approach to the production and exhibition of contemporary art.

Getting on With Art: Conversations on Practicalities Through Practice has invited a broad range of artists to speak about their realities of making art as professionals. Guest speakers will address a number of pertinent issues and opportunities for emerging artists, including their experiences of artist residencies, commercial galleries and artist-run exhibition spaces alongside the practicalities of sustaining an art practice in these difficult times.

These artists will offer insights into how their own research influences their approach to sustainability and how this affects their final outcomes, their artworks.

Presentations will be followed by an open-forum Q & A session, where the urgent issues of the day can be advanced head-on and where we hope the pertinent issues of practitioners today can be explored in a pragmatic manner.

Creating Waves 2009

Thursday 11 June 2009 from 6pm to 8pm

Egg BasketThe Crawford Art Gallery was a hub of energy and excitement on June 11 when fourth class pupils from Beaumont Boys National School and their teachers Jacinta O’Sullivan, Norma Nagle and Julie Devine S.N.A., presented the art work that they realised as part of Creating Waves – Crawford Art Gallery 2009. Over 200 people were in attendance including pupils, family and friends.

For 5 months, the 29 boys have been actively engaged in a wide-ranging series of gallery-based workshops coordinated by artist Sorcha O Brien. Sessions with artists Lisa Fingleton, Julie Forrester, Emma Klemencic, Lynda Loughnane and Charlotte Donovan, incorporated film making, ceramics and stained glass.





The evening was an opportunity for the
pupils to guide their family and friends around
the gallery and introduce them to the collection they now know so well. A guide for young people developed through this project is available from the Gallery Bookshop on request.

Creating Waves is an art in schools project supported by Cork City Council.
