Access Day - March 2011

NCAD Access were delighted to welcome 110 pupils from 12 secondary schools that are linked to the College Access Programme for our annual Access Day that took place on Friday 4th March 2011.

Working closely with the art teachers in our linked secondary schools, NCAD Access aims to provide a practical opportunity of engagement to pupils with staff and students from Faculties throughout the NCAD. Access Day allows pupils to make informed choices when it comes to making decisions about whether or not they wish to apply to art college and in particular to the NCAD.

Pupils that attend Access Day are nominated to do so by their art teachers and it is hoped that this opportunity will inspire and motivate pupils to pursue their interest in art and design.

NCAD Access would like to thank staff and students from the College for their ongoing support and engagement with the Access Programme.

This year our art and design workshops included Printmaking, Photoshop in Media, CD Collage in Visual Communication, Cuttlefish Casting in Metals, Drape Draw Design in Fashion, Paper Ball in Textiles, Hot Glass Cast in Glass, Digital Photography and Drawing through Printmaking in Education, Sculpture, Chairs: The Sketch and the Chair and Designer for the Day in Industrial Design.
