One Day with the Birdwatcher

By Yuliia Samoilenko ACDX

Hello! My name is Yuliia Samoilenko. I was born in Ukraine and lived there until the war started in 2022. The conflict forced me to escape and seek refuge in Ireland. This experience has been given the opportunity to continue my education and to grow as an artist. Now I am a first year student of Art, Craft and Design course at Limerick College of Further Education. Creating a photo book “One Day with the Birdwatcher” during my modules Photography and Design skills was a fun, rewarding, and creative experience that allowed me to showcase my passion for photography and for a birdwatching. This book tells a compelling story that takes readers on an emotional journey, following a birdwatcher’s experiences throughout a single day.

I am happy to share my Pdf. Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vAVTCmH5gVftsol7TTri_XdOgkQbPFEn?usp=sharing

A Person I Admire, Gliceria Lytvyn

By Iryna Simon

My name is Iryna Simon. I’m from Ukraine. I have been in Ireland for over one year. I live in Limerick, and I am studying English in KRC. In my free time I play different sports. I am a member of the tennis club and I also teach a fitness class on a voluntary basis.

I would like to talk about my great-grandmother as person I admire. Her name was Gliceria Lytvyn. She was born and grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine. That was the time when Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor still ruled.

When she was twelve years old, the October revolution took place in the empire. My great-grandmother also lived in the terrible times of the Terror Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine, and survived World War II. She told me many interesting stories about her life. When I was a child, my great-grandmother took care of me and my twin brothers.

I often remember and admire her because she lived a hard life, but she was kind and positive. Until the end of her days she remained with a clear mind. I was very lucky to know my great-grandmother. I learned from her an optimistic attitude to life, and she taught me to never give up.

Taras Shevchenko

By Lina Pershyna

Taras Shevchenko is a Ukrainian poet, novelist, thinker, painter, ethnographer and public figure. He is a National hero and symbol of Ukraine. He was born on March 9, 1814 and died March 10, 1861.

He was born in a beautiful village in Ukraine. Taras Shevchenko was short – a little more than 164 cm. Taras’ favourite drink was tea with rum. 1,384 monuments have been erected to Taras Shevchenko in the world.The poet always dressed quite fashionably, as he earned well.

This person is my favourite, because in difficult times, he was kind, honest, friendly and most importantly, he was not afraid to overcome life’s difficult situations. By his example, Taras showed what a real man and citizen of his country should be.

Bathroom yearbook design

By James Curran, ADX2

This was a piece done on Adobe illustrate for a brief where we had to make a magazine cover with a self portrait as the front cover. I had images taken for a previous project that I wanted to use and this seemed like the perfect brief to implement them into.
