"Please Don't Send Me "
By Jessica Shipard from Mount St. Bernard College, QLD.
Category: Painting - Senior
Sponsored by
The major concept being studied in this work is the journey. The journey is symbolised through the girl in the envelope. The envelope symbolising travel, and the girl being in it symbolising the way people ‘send themselves’ to the world. The way people send themselves is often very diff erent to how they actually feel and who they are.
PROCESS:
- Collated materials for rough idea of composition
- Lots of crazy machine embroidery
- Painted on figure with acrylics, stitched on stripy dress after painting with a mix of inks and acrylics.
- Sealed with the envelope, added buttons, flowers, fabric gathers and more.
- Finally I decorated the sides of the frame with fabric, paint and buttons.

"Forest"
By Jacob Lambell from Oakleigh Primary School, Vic.
Category: Painting - Primary

I have always been interested in art since I was young and had a hobby for drawing. When I started art classes with Beatrice, my art teacher, I have been extended a lot more. With Beatrice, I have been able to try out many more mediums and experiment with different techniques.
Forest was an experimental painting that I painted with oil paints, one of the first oil paintings I tried. I painted it using a palette knife and brushes, giving it lots of texture and I tried to give it an abstract feel. I like the effect of texture that I can get with oil paint.
I hope to keep up with my art and continue to paint and draw for the rest of my life.

"Volcano"
By Connor Donnelly from Caboolture State School, Qld.
Category: Painting - Junior

My volcano is all powerful. It has very bright colours with dark, explosive clouds and lava. I love the changes between the oranges and the blues. The vibrant greens make the tree really stand out, as it is about to be covered in lava. The blazing sun is burning hot and fills the sky.

"Childhood"
By Cecilia Jin from Cheltenham Girls High, NSW
Category: Computer Design - Senior

This picture is dedicated to my mother on her birthday, a remembrance of her precious childhood in the carefree countryside.
For this picture I wanted to bring out a soft nostalgic feel through various watercolour and ink brushes on photoshop. The first step of my process was to sketch a suitable scene.
I chose this pose and setting mainly because it brought out the playful and anxious nature of a child yearning to reach a destination; in this case, the past. Almost like a a reference to the cliché of our ‘inner child’ telling us something.
After the sketch I scanned it onto my computer and, using various layers on Photoshop CS, I inserted the vary basic background colour to set the scene. After this I set the original layer to multiply and placed it on the bottom. From here I just made several layers on top, each for a new section, and continued to add layers of colour on normal mode.
After the general gist of it I added lighter tones such as highlights in hair and on skin with my WACOM tablet.

"Cross Your Heart "
By Samantha Borg from Colyton High School, NSW.
Category: Computer Design - Middle
Sponsored by
To create my entry “Cross Your Heart” I used the graphics programs Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004. Firstly I created the large heart graphic; once drawing an outline shape on a piece of paper, I then scanned it in. I heavily manipulated it using different brush techniques on the graphics programs. Then I thought of what text to write, which font to use. After doing all this I put it all together in a larger graphic and made the finishing touches.

After taking this photo in Japan on a digital camera, I have used Microsoft Photo Editor to put chalk and charcoal edges on the picture. It is a picture of the train I was on at the station, looking through a mirror.
