HILLHEAD HIGH SCHOOL – ART & DESIGN DEPARTMENT@HHS_ExpArts

After winning Scotland’s Junk Kouture, Ola was asked down to the Blue Peter studies in Manchester. Ola took part in a live show along with the Scottish Glamour prize winner and the Ireland 2016 Winner and Ireland Glamour winner. She got to show off her design and earn a green Blue Peter badge at the same time. Ola also produced a very short video where she showed you how to make some junk jewellery.

As well as winning Junk Kouture, Ola also made time to document the whole process and present it as a video. Here is the link to the video. Unfortunately the music was pulled from this video. I have included another link so that you can play this music behind the video. There is also a link of her on stage performing her routine. We hope you enjoy viewing them.

 

A great night was had by all. The amount of support Ola had on the night was also fantastic. Here is just some of the supporters on the night! The night was finished off with a very late trip to McDonalds.

A fantastic night was completed at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall when Ola went on to win the Junk Couture competition. This is the 2nd time the competition has came to Scotland and Hillhead High has been lucky enough to win it twice. Ola has now won this competition as part of a group and also as an individual. This work was also used as her Higher design folio which she went on to score full marks in and helped her achieve an A for her Higher Art & Design. Well done Ola! A fantastic piece of work.

The Reborn design made it through to the final 80 in Scotland. Here is some photographs from during the day.

Just before the Junk Kouture 2016 final, Ola and her Reborn outfit were asked to promote the competition in the Buchanan Galleries. Ola and a number of other designs spent a few hours walking up and down the shopping centre to promote the competition.

Here is some shots from our 2016 photo-shoot for Junk Kouture. These photos were used to enter Ola’s design called Reborn. The idea of the design was taken from a Phoenix raising up from the flames.

Well done to all our pupils who took part in the competition this year. We are pleased to say Angeni & Mikele won 1st prize with this sculptural piece which shows that they would love to see a greener Glasgow!

Here is Ola & Gregor with their awards.

Ola picked up 1st prize in the expressive category with her waiting of Glasgow and Gregor picked up 2nd prize in the design category with his bike that turned into a table and chair. Well done both of you. We must also say well done to everyone who took part in the competition. There was some fantastic work on show!

Here is the winning design modelled by Sallina! Ola, Flori & Sallina walked away with the Junk Kouture trophy, £500 for the team, iPad Mini’s each and £1000 and an iPad Mini for the department. To become the first winners in Scotland made this win extra special! The final took place in the Arches in Glasgow.
