Dublin Arts Council strives to share our work with teachers and students in the Dublin City Schools and beyond. The following presentations and resource packets (available below as PDF files) are designed to bring our programs and exhibitions to your classroom. Resources include images; project background and artist information; vocabulary; studio and interdisciplinary activities that relate directly to the resource unit. Teachers are encouraged to download these materials and integrate them into their own unit and lesson plans, as they see fit.

How have you used Dublin Arts Council’s Education Resources with your students? What worked and what didn't? What kinds of additional resources would you like to see here? Share your experiences with us!
