Kilkenny Art Trip

On the 24th of October our year visited Kilkenny for an art trip. We went to a private screening of a film entitled "The Song of The Sea". It is an animated film  by Tomm Moore and I really enjoyed it.

The plot of the movie is as follows: A young boy from Ireland voice by David Rawle discovers that his sister who has never spoken is a "selkie". She must find her voice to free supernatural creatures from a spell cast by a Celtic Goddess voiced by Fionnula Flanagan.

After the film we visited the Butler Gallery to visit the song of the sea exhibition. I found this really really interesting because I love art and it had pictures of all the characters; how they are drawn and how they changed from pencil sketches to active animation. 

There were stations set up that showed each of the main characters: 

I think this art trip is my favorite thing we have done this year. It was really interesting and I think in the future I would like to be an animator !
