    The Art Appreciation about the gallery is really bothering me.

    We we're supposed to go to a gallery and write and essay but for some reason it never happened. We went to the Huge Lane a couple of times but we never got the details of the painings or anything so I don't have "Speak about two paintings/works". Does anyone have a sample essay so I can atleast have a look at the structure?

    My problem is speaking about the two works, but I'm pretty sure I could write about the lighting and the way it is laid out etc.

    Thanks.

    I actually done Renoir, Degas and Money also. I got 62% on the Mocks with doing little to no study and I took the Appreciation question of the top of my head. I just studied the Renaissance.

    On the E-Mail, thanks again and I actually seen that Yinka Shonibare peice in the Hugh Lane. I will learn that off and the other contents of the email and hopefully get through that question.

    Thanks again.

    I've done very little in the Irish section; Petrie Crown, Ardagh Chalice, Georgian Housing.

    I've done a fair bit in the European section though: Manet & Monet of the Impressionists, Dali, Picasso, Michelangelo and Da Vinci. Probably should do more but there's so little time.

    Appreciation of Art I'll just spoof on the day.

    also, I hope the following come up;
    La Tene (the only thing we covered that didn't come up last year),
    Botticelli, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci.

    Sorry, don't have anything on that.

    I have heard Romanesque and Gothic Architecture should be up. I done it last year and I can't remember it. Might look over it but not sure, don't find it interesting.

    I'm also hoping La Tene comes up. Pretty good at that, easy enough.

    I hate architecture so much, or at least writing about it. Arches this, pillars that, so annoying.

    Was anyone at the Lorcan Walsh exhibition in the Museum in Collin's Barracks? I have all my info for it, except a second work that was on display there. Anyone know any of them? :/
