Junior School Portrait Prize Results

Junior School Portrait Prize Results

This year, our Junior School artists responded to the theme of ‘My Story’. Students were asked to explore how a portrait can communicate a person’s story.

We received 29 entries and subjects included themselves, family members, friends and teachers. With a wide variety of art mediums used to create their artworks, the skills and techniques demonstrated by all students as well as a clear passion for artmaking were certainly elevated this year.
