One image gap that we detected on Wikipedia was in the biographies of politicians who had served in the Catalan Government; some had photographs, whereas others did not. We decided to fill this gap by assigning the students to draw these politicians. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Bàrbara Domenech, an art student at Serra i Abella in L'Hospitalet who was on internship at Amical Wikimedia, created five portraits of politicians who had served in the Catalan Government after the end of the Franco dictatorship. All of the selected politicians were important figures in the Spanish transition to democracy. Some of them also went on to become important figures in European politics (for example, Antoni Gutiérrez Díaz served as Vice President of the European Parliament).
