The subjects for these portraits are all women who have distinguished themselves through their compassion, ingenuity, hard work, integrity, ideals and attitudes and outstanding accomplishments in their respective fields.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ella painted Jessica Watson<\/li>\n<li>Elenarose drew Dame Quentin Bryce<\/li>\n<li>Samantha Klein volunteered to complete two portraits for which we are immensely grateful. Sam painted Gill Hicks (twice!) and Barangaroo<\/li>\n<li>Uma Rogers sketched Vivian Bullwinkel<\/li>\n<li>Elenarose Plaister drew Quentin Bryce<\/li>\n<li>Lara Feller painted Judith Beveridge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All students undertook independent research and sourced their own photographs or in the case for Barangaroo, conceived of a sensitive depiction of an Aboriginal Woman (when images of the deceased must not be displayed.) Furthermore, there are of course no photographic images of Barangaroo only a few poorly considered colonial sketches of her and her husband Bennelong. So Samantha Klein had to work especially hard to honour such a formidable figure who looms large in our historical consciousness as a woman of immense integrity, powerful intellect and cultural strength.<\/p>\n<p>The portraits were a major part of the visual material for the anniversary concert and would have been displayed behind the live performance of the commissioned musical item on stage at the Town Hall. Additionally, the original works would have been on display in the Town Hall Foyer. We hope that there will be another opportunity to exhibit these outstanding contributions from our dedicated young artists later but for now here are their works\u2026.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1445 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Uma-Rogers.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Uma Rogers\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Uma-Rogers-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Uma Rogers<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Samantha-Klein-preferred-image.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Samantha Klein\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Samantha-Klein-preferred-image-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Samantha Klein<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Ella-Walters-Adams.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Ella Walters-Adams\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Ella-Walters-Adams-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Ella Walters-Adams<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Samantha-Klein-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Samantha Klein\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Samantha-Klein-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Samantha Klein<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Elenarose-Plaister.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Elenarose Plaister\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Elenarose-Plaister-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Elenarose Plaister<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Lara-Feller.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"Lara Feller\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2020\/03\/Lara-Feller-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>Lara Feller<\/figcaption>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heidi Jackson<br \/>\nHead of Visual Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In preparation for the School\u2019s 125th Anniversary celebrations Ms Chow, Head of Music, commissioned Art students to portray significant women from history as a visual accompaniment to a specially commissioned piece of music.
