Look Closer: DCU Art Tour with Helen Barry

Our slow-looking art tours through the DCU Art Collection continues! These guided, interactive walks invite DCU staff to pause, look closely, and reflect on fresh perspectives across a selection of artworks across campus. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a facilitated discussion method that uses art to build observation, critical thinking, communication, and collaborative learning skills.

Helen Barry is a Dublin-based visual artist, trained dancer and educator. She has spent over 30 years honing her collaborative practice and works with all ages across a range of demographics using a multi-disciplinary approach. Helen is a trained Visual Thinking Strategies facilitator whose practice is imbued with the responses and stimuli offered through direct engagement in providing and developing arts experiences with and for others. This collaborative process is what drives her work, from the initial concept through to the design, making and sharing of the creative output with her collaborators and/or new audiences.
