Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is an historical study of Ireland's oldest art institution, the National College of Art and Design, the largest of its kind in the country, which can trace its origins back to the Dublin Society Drawing Schools of 1746. The institution has been influenced in turn by the French Enlightenment, the Victorian schools of design, the Arts and Crafts movement, the search for Irish national identity and the innovations in British art education of the 1960s.
