The school I work in is a DEIS school. There was no charge for our guided tour. I think there may be a fee for non-DEIS schools, €26 comes to mind.
It was such an eye-opening visit. The guides were amazing- the questions- and answers they managed to get from the children...
This piece really got the children talking- were they old or new lightbulbs? Was someone storing them? Or recycling?
The tour included a workshop.
Afterwards the class had their picnic in the lunch room and played out in the maze. I think they remembered this day more than their actual school tour! :D
I picked up this book in MoMA while in New York- it has great ideas for teaching children to respond to contemporary art and reminded me of the tour guide in IMMA.
I even found this book as a great introduction to Contemporary Art for myself. I happened to come across it in my local town library- so it's worth a look!
I cannot help but notice all the integration opportunities- Science, P.E.
English
SPHE, Science
Check out this painting- made with prints of the artist's eyelashes!
