Creativity on full display at exhibition

The night before Open Garden Day, the Senior School View Street Building was transformed into an art gallery for the Creative Arts and Technologies Exhibition Opening Night.

Family and friends were invited to view the depth and breadth of talent displayed in the exhibition titled ‘In the Making’ by students ranging from Years 7 - 12 from ATAR, International Baccalaureate and VET pathways.

Some students exhibited pieces from multiple disciplines including woodwork, photography, textiles, video and visual art – showcasing their creativity across the diverse fields the arts encompass.

One of the pieces on display has already achieved notoriety as the winner of the 2021 St George’s Art Exhibition in July. Yasmin De La Rosa Sutedja (Year 12) was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s lively portraits celebrating Mexican culture for her piece titled ‘Carrier’.

Yasmin’s reflective self portrait explores her disassociation with her Costa Rican, Swiss, Spanish, and Taiwanese heritage.

Gabby Smith’s ‘Herberium Heritage’ was recognised by guest Artist Kelsey Ashe, as a most notable work and her favourite for the Exhibition. In addition, she recognised highly commended works from Pippa Ford, Annie Mellick and Lola Meara.

The exhibition was then open to the general public on Friday 22 October during Open Garden Day.
