Below is a little introduction to our Creative Associate, Dr. Clodagh Emoe (Artist and Lecturer at IADT) who will work with our school over the next two years in celebrating and promoting all things creative at St. Marys JNS as part of Creative Schools initiative.
About me...
I believe that art is a form of enquiry, an explorative process that we can share together. My desire to explore our deep connection with each other and the natural world has motivated me to devise collaborative projects with artists, philosophers, botanists, writers, filmmakers, community groups, and young people. Through collaboration and creativity, we can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. I know that when we work together we can make something more ambitious and exciting than we could ever have anticipated.
I am really excited to be working with St. Mary’s Junior School as a Creative Associate. My role is to work with the staff and children so that together we can devise a Creative Plan that is unique to this school.
