Class: 1Ealaín– 4.1
Time: 10:20 – 11:40         (double period)
Date:  24/09/18
School: Coláiste Choilm (GaelCholáiste)
Mentor: Emilie Doyle

The class was quite small today, due to a school activity (choir practice) there were many students absent. The co-operating teacher decided to leave checking the homework until the following class, so that everyone would be able to have their homework checked. Continuing on from continuous line, the pupils were given A3 blown up photocopies of their drawings. They then proceeded to do string drawings. They were engaged with the project, concentrating on their work, talking quietly among themselves. Still very quiet, I’m not entirely sure if this a good thing or not. Yes it’s important to have control over the class, but it is also important to have a good and most importantly creative environment, the co-operating teacher is happy with them, saying that they are just a quiet bunch. After they had finished with this task, they moved onto water resistant drawings using oil pastels, they followed the line of their drawings and painted a wash over them.

Welcome to my PME blog. Within this space, I will reflect on the shadowing period of my teaching practice, which follows me in my preparation towards taking my classes alone. I will discuss workshops that take place in the Crawford College, where I can experience the methods of art making that my pupils will experience, seeing through the eyes of both student and teacher. I will also bring my experience from UCC, in which I will reflect on the teaching methodologies that I will use in my own teaching practice. With this blog, I hope to map my progress of this year, and to show the growth that has occurred in both my artistic and teaching practice through the experiences from UCC and the Crawford College.

Class: 1Art – 1.2 Time: 09:00 – 10:20    (double period) Date:   03/09/18 School: Coláiste Choilm Co-operating teacher: Mary O’Mahony This class was part of an observation/ team teaching experience. The class started with an introduction to the class that I will be teaching. In this class the learning outcome that was addressed was Drawing 1.4 , demonstrate how they use drawing to observe, record and analyse the human figure and the world around them. The class was continuing from the last class with Blind Contour drawing. The students were told for this exercise they must remember three things, not to look at the page, to keep the pencil/pen on the page and that this exercise is to work on hand to eye co-ordination. The objective of this exercise is to practice the element of line, the shape and the line of the object. The class then continued onto Continuous line drawing. The co-operating teacher then showed the students a video of an artist completin...

Class: 1Art – 1.2 Time: 09:00 – 11:40         (double period) Date:   10/09/18 School: Coláiste Choilm Mentor: Mary O’Mahony The class began with the co-operating teacher getting the class to recall what had been done in the previous class. The class answered what they had done and she left the photocopies of the blown up blind drawings for the students to collect. The co-operating teacher then explained that today that they were going to be transferring their drawing onto a sheet in their sketchbooks Two pupils, who were absent, from last week’s class had to catch up with the rest of the class. I explained what had been done last week i.e. the blind drawings and the tracing of the blind drawing of choice of the pupils. The rest of the class, once they had received their blind drawings drew a frame around the photocopy as close to the drawing as possible. They then turned the drawing around (blind drawing facing away from the pupil...
