ABOUT

visual art education from an Artist’s perspective.
Caroline Keane, Artist
My teaching philosophy is to
create an accessible platform for
all ages to engage with art and
art making.
I believe being exposed to and experiencing various art mediums and art processes develops important skill sets such as observation, expression and connection.Everyone in the art room contributes as a student, teacher and thinker.
My Classes
ABOUT
My classes provide a relaxed
and interactive atmosphere
which promotes individual
learning. Guiding students
through process led
approaches to art making
and learning valuable, visual art techniques.

Testimonials
Derek Lee,
Adult Class Student.
Caroline is an amazing teacher and as a complete beginner any worries I had about starting art classes quickly disappeared. Classes are fun relaxing and very friendly and Caroline is always there to help.
Caroline O’ Toole,
Community Project.
I have worked with Caroline doing a mural in our Foroige club and she was an amazing teacher and excellent with our group of young people that ranged between the ages of 12 and 18.
Ellie Caroll,
Toddlers and Tea.
I don't know who enjoys this class more, myself or Ellie. Watching her splash around in the paint, interacting with other little budding artists is just fab. Meeting other parents there for the chats is just a lovely break during the week. Massive thumbs up.
Brian Dowling,
Leaving Cert Student.
I've decided to go to Art Classes to improve my techniques for school and Caroline's encouragement has really helped me build my confidence. She's a great teacher and motivator and has helped me massively in preparing for my exams.
