Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin
Other names: National College of Art (1938), National College of Art and Design (from 1971)
Foundation date: 1877
Dissolution date: 1938
Function: Art school
Policy: 'I will do the best in my power for the advancement of Art Education in my native country and desire that this institution should be a model school of art for all Ireland. The functions of a national school of art are not only to provide instruction in drawing, painting, modeling and design to all students, but also to make workmen better workmen, and to educate the public in art matters and to create a more extended taste in all kinds of art - especially as applied to industries and the common things of everyday life, including machine-made goods'.
As featured in Headmaster's Report, year to end 31 July 1907.
History or description: The Metropolitan School of Art was the new title given to the Royal Dublin Society's Schools of Drawing, originally established c. 1746. The Dublin Society Schools had been amalgamated with the School of Design, which had been run by the Board of Trade. This new title M.S.A. marked the takeover of the schools by the Science and Art Dept., South Kensington, on the passing of the Dublin Science and Art Museum Act, 1877. This continued until 1900, when the administration of the school was transferred to the Dept. of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, Dublin.
Classes were originally offered in figure drawing, landscape and ornamental drawing, architectural drawing and modelling.
A number of other classes and subjects were subsequently added. Classes in stained glass and enamelling became an important feature of the curriculum in the early 1900s, and students' work was requested for exhibition both nationally and internationally, for example in the USA and Australia.
The 1906 report [of enquiry] states that the functions of the school to 1900 primarily concerned with providing a Fine Arts education for the majority of students and training in Applied Arts, to a lesser extent. Adds that the scope of the work greatly enlarged since then to 'form the apex of a system of Art teaching throughout Ireland'. Character of the teaching to now concentrate on Art as applied to industries - twofold task : to provide a training for teachers of art subjects in the schools working under the system and to extend the highest quality of teaching in 'all branches of art' to students coming to the school from locations throughout Ireland.
In 1901 the Lord Lieutenant, Sir William Abney, recommended the amalgamation of the Life Schools of the RHA and the MSA, under the roof of the MSA, not only for financial reasons, but also in the belief that the rooms at the MSA were better suited to such teaching. However, members of the RHA were against such a move, as they regarded that such a development would not meet the requirements of the students attending the RHA. A full discussion of the proposals, continued in 1906, appear in the 1906 Report [of enquiry] and include the following: that a grant be voted to render a third gallery suitable for exhibition purposes and for other repairs to existing buildings and that a new charter be granted to deal with the necessary changes envisioned...all vis-a-vis the RHA, and that concurrently, steps should be taken with a view to changing the title of the MSA school to that of the Royal College of Art for Ireland. Additionally, that in lieu of the existing two Life Schools, that only one Life School remain operating, in the MSA, and that a Professorship of Painting be established within the school and that an independent outside Committee to be established to appoint the staff and direct the work of the Life Schools of Painting and Sculpture.
Silversmiths' and Goldsmiths' apprentices also attended the school from 1905-1922, following courses in metalwork, enamelling, drawing and design.
Figures for the period 1895-1905 highlight the numbers of students who attended the life class: an average of 6 males and 17 females during each academic year [Report on MSA and RHA, 1906, Appendix N].
In 1906, the School Buildings consisted of 22 rooms in daily use for classes and storage and an additional six small offices. See details of these rooms, and classes taught there during 1906 under Location - Kildare Street (below).
At the Royal Dublin Society's Art-Industries exhibition, held in August 1923, 16 awards and commendations were made to students of the school, attending in the session 1922-23. Gifts to the school were also welcomed, and an example of such generosity was acknowledged in October 1927, when the headmaster's report included details of a gift of casts from the antique, modelling equipment and tools, presented by the executors of the late Ernest O'Shaughnessy. In Dec. 1928, the headmaster's report highlighted the manner in which a number of figure casts, lent from the school to the National Museum in 1880, were returned during the session, as a result of the re-arrangement of the Museum's galleries. The return of these loans coincided with the completion of 'the re-decoration of the school premises, with which their contents have been thoroughly overhauled and re-arranged'.
In 1930 the headmaster organised and dispatched the contribution of work by Irish Free State artists to the Imperial Gallery of Art exhibition. He also visited the exhibition of Italian art in London, and assisted in the arrangement and opening of the exhibition of Irish Art at Brussels, for which he acted as Hon. Treasurer. The Annual exhibition of the RHA was held on the school premises [MSA] from Apr.7th to May 18th and included exhibits by 18 students in attendance at the school during the session 1929-30. The RHA annual exhibitions were held at the MSA, Kildare Street from 1916 to 1969, as the RHA premises in Lower Abbey Street had perished in a fire during the 1916 Easter Rising.
Evening classes were held at the school, in addition to day classes. Summer Courses of 'Art Instruction' were also held, attended by teachers from the Secondary Schools of Ireland, from 1907 (when 100 were in attendance).
During the 1933-34 session, a group of 18 students from the School of Art, Belfast, visited the MSA, Dublin in November and a reciprocal visit was made by 22 students of the MSA, Dublin to Belfast in April. A Standing Committee for the school was established in October 1934 and 'exhaustively reviewed the work of the school. Under the direction of the Standing Committee, a scheme for the organisation of the school as a National College of Art was prepared, and is being further considered'.
There was no formal academic structures from 1854-1936. In 1936 a three-school structure was established, to include a Professor of Sculpture, Professor of Design and a Professor of Painting.
In 1938 the school was re-named once more: The National College of Art.
In 1971 a National College of Design Bill was passed in parliament and the college became the 'National College of Art and Design' in 1971, to reflect the new impetus and importance given to design in the school.
