An exhibition of artwork by primary school pupils, inspired by the exhibition Buzz and Hum, an exhibition of paintings by Richard Gorman and Samuel Walsh.
The first exhibition of 2018 at Uillinn, Buzz and Hum brought together the work of Richard Gorman and Samuel Walsh, highlighting the relationship between the two artists and their work. While their formal approach to painting differs, the two artists share an interest in expressive colour and pattern, and these were the elements explored by the children from six West Cork primary schools.
The children and their teachers visited the exhibition for a guided tour followed by a workshop with artist Alison Trim. They then made their own artwork, working individually or in groups.

The participating schools are:

Our Lady of Mercy National School, Bantry, 2nd class with teacher  Maeve Keane.
Gaelscoil Dr. Uí Shúilleabháin, Skibbereen, 1st, 2nd and 3rd class with teacher Aisling Ní Néill
Scoil Naomh Bríde, Union Hall, Junior Infants to 1st class with teacher Cliona Connelly
Drimoleague National School, 4th and 5th class with teacher Pat Collins
Glandore National School, 4th to 6th class with teacher Eilish Duggan
Dreeny National School, Junior and Senior Infants with teacher Kate Cormican and 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class with teacher Isobelle Nealon.
Many thanks to all the schools and to teachers for engaging their pupils with the project.
