Partnering with Mullingar Youth Project, artist Jessica Daly will lead a series of workshops for young people exploring colour, pattern, and abstraction.<\/p>\n
Mullingar Youth Project is a community-based youth work organisation providing key services to young people. Jessica Daly is a visual artist from Mullingar. She studied at the National College of Art and Design and the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland.<\/p>\n
Participants will be encouraged to seek out patterns and colours from the world around them. They will develop these patterns using a range of materials and techniques. Using Adobe Photoshop, their artwork will be into repeat patterns to be printed onto blankets, for use during a community picnic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Research has shown a link between social media and the rise in depression among young people. Daly wishes to address this problem by bringing the participants outside to socialise in nature.<\/p>\n
The participant’s unique blankets will be laid down in Mullingar Park, creating a colourful, inviting environment for them and the local community to sit and enjoy a picnic. More details on how to attend to follow. Keep an eye on Jessica\u2019s Instagram for more information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":29714,"template":"","class_list":["post-29713","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
