Heatherwood students decided to draw portraits of all their staff to recognise the important role that each person played in creating the school community. Seventy-four portraits in all were made for the staff from the schools principal to the cleaner. Along with the portrait was a quality statement written by the students to describe each teachers' unique talents and contributions. These works were then framed and now form a unique exhibition of work displayed in the school corridors. A celebratory event was held where students presented their works to each of the staff. The artwork was projected on to the wall in a MS PowerPoint® presentation. Parents joined in to acknowledge their support and involvement in the community. The teachers were obviously moved by such an honest and powerful expression of gratitude from their students. It was a joyous occasion for all!

Although only several students can paint at any one time everyone contributes to the work at some stage and finished boards look amazing. T

The Angry Penguins text copyright courtesy of the creative school supply company ©2007 THE BEGINNINGS OF MODERNISM IN MELBOURNE During the 1920s and 1930s, the modern art movement in Melbourne generally drew on the style of Post- Impressionism. In 1930, Adrian Lawlor held a one-man exhibition of experimental and avant-garde works. In 1931, colour reproductions of paintings by Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Utrillo, Dufy and Modigliani were exhibited with accompanying lectures by George Bell. In 1932, George Bell and Arnold Shore opened a new art school to teach the TUCKER, Albert (1914–1999) ‘John Reed cutting Joy Hester’s hair, watched by Sunday Reed’ c. 1942 principles and practices of modern Gelatin silver photograph (40.5 x 30.5 cm) art, and the same year William Frater, Gift of Barbara Tucker 2001 Heide Museum of Modern Art Arnold Shore, George Bell and Adrian was in Melbourne that it wealthy and intelligent couple Lawlor exhibited their current works ﬂ ourished most strongly during passionate about art, who in which were based on Post- the war years.

where creative people could come together to discuss the philosophy of modern art and social issues, share ideas and produce creative works. The Reeds provided patronage to many young artists and nurtured their careers. Many of the important names of the twentieth century Australian art world met at Heide to share meals, read, discuss and heatedly debate modernism with its ramifi cations for art, music, literature and philosophy, and were seconded to assist with the garden. The Reeds’ private library (one of the fi nest and most up- to-date in Australia at that time) was available to all of Heide’s visitors and for many it was their fi rst introduction to Modernism.
