The Submarine

Each term the Library publishes a magazine The Submarine . The latest edition is  solely dedicated to art and there are a number of articles ranging from gallery recommendations to analyses of paintings such as da Vinci's 'Last Supper'. There are also lots of excellent visuals, most of which were completed by pupils. Both Junior and Senior Cycle pupils have contributed to this publication and the Art Department are very thankful to our Librarian Mr McConville for conceiving the idea of an edition of the magazine dedicated to the area of art. 

 The Submarine can read online below via Issuu (click for a closer view, again for the closest, and navigate via the arrows).

What is synaesthesia?

Your brain usually interprets signals from the eyes as light, and those from the ears as sound. But a few people experience sounds as colours, smells as colours or even colours as smells. Around one in a hundred people have some form of this 'mixing of the senses' or synaesthesia. Almost any combination of two of the five senses is possible, although it is most common to see a certain colour when you hear a particular sound.

Gala Concert Poster Competition

As part of Science Week the Science department here at the college are running a science/art competition. They simply request pupils to produce a piece of art which is inspired by science.

 Art and science are very closely linked. This is exemplified in the work of Leonardo Da Vinci who moved between art and science throughout his working life.Posted below are some examples of how artists have already interpreted science as art. 

Pupil work for this competition will be posted by the end of this week.
