Pupils from Ms Myers Sixth Class use Pointillism for Landmarks
Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small dots of pure colour are applied in patterns to form an image. Impressionist artists, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, and art critics mockingly applied the term Pointillism to this technique of painting. The term is still used but it no longer has the mocking connotation.
Stone Age Houses
These houses represent the houses that the Celts may have built about 2,000 years ago. They used mud, straw, stones and timber. We used clay, matchsticks and spaghetti. There is only one door and no windows in these houses. It must have been dark inside! (Jakub)

Galway - City of the Tribes
Galway is known as the City of the Tribes because in medieval times there were fourteen merchant families who effectively controlled the town. Most of these families descended from the Normans, and derived their power and wealth from trading. In 1484 Galway received city status from King Richard 3rd. The families or tribes controlled the City Hall and most mayors of Galway came from these families. Their power began to diminish after the city was captured by Cromwell's army in 1652 after a nine-month siege.
The pupils of Ms Staunton's fifth class drew the family crests. The painting of the flags featured in the City Hall calendar of 2013.
