Art & Mindfulness:
Supporting Children’s Wellbeing in Primary Schools
Created by teacher and Gallery tour guide Maria Broderick, this resource includes a step-by-step guide to incorporating mindfulness in the primary classroom, alongside an in-depth look at a painting of Powerscourt Waterfall, Co. Wicklow, by George Barret. It is provided as a PDF and an adaptable PowerPoint that you can use in the classroom, and is accompanied by a guided mindfulness video exploring the painting.

Participating schools announced
We are delighted to announce the three primary schools that will be participating in Your Gallery at School. This new holistic outreach programme, supported by SMBC Aviation Capital, brings the National Gallery of Ireland directly to schools.
Following an open application process, the following schools have been selected:
- Scoil Chiaráin CBS, Dublin 5
- Cliffoney National School, Sligo
- Donagh National School, Donegal
These schools will take part in workshops appropriate for the students’ ages and school levels, covering the following areas:
- Learning through and about art: a practical workshop inspired by the national collection.
- Wellbeing: a sensory session focusing on slow looking and mindfulness.
- Creative Careers: a talk and Q&A with Gallery staff and an established artist, enabling students to learn about a variety of arts careers.
Meet the three primary schools, and find out more about the project on our website.
