A collaborative exhibition between IMMA's National Programme and Art Alongside 2011-2012
In IMMA-ginary Space a selection of the children's work, created during the Art Alongside 2011-2012 programme, is exhibited alongside works by Art Alongside artists Helen Robbins and Mary Claire O'Brien, and works from the IMMA Collection. For this project primary school pupils from Our Lady of Fatima School, Wexford, and St Senan's National School, Enniscorthy, were shown high quality reproductions of art works from the IMMA Collection. Guided by artists Mary Claire O'Brien and Helen Robbins, the children were facilitated in looking carefully at each of these reproductions to make their choice of works to be included in the exhibition. Following this period of research, the classroom art projects were devised, based on the students' understanding of and responses to their chosen piece of work.
