Classroom experience on gallery walls

Sienna's work, Please Miss, Not Everyone Loves Shakespeare as Much as You touches on the real lived experience that occurs in the state's high schools.

"Teachers are so excited by things like Shakespeare and try to share that enthusiasm with their students. For us however, with the stress of the HSC, something like Othello is just more hard work. There seemed to be an irony there that inspired my artwork," Sienna said.

Sienna's work is in charcoal. She used her classmates and teacher as her models. Sienna's work is in the Art Gallery adjacent to the Domain until April 21.
