Hillview students critique works by Judy Chicago at the De La Warr Pavilion
Last Thursday, Year 12 students visited the Pavilion to look at the exhibitions currently on. The Head of Social Media interviewed our students regarding their response to an artwork. You can see the thread by visiting:

"I disagree. It's quite calming like it's a stress relief"
"The way the figures are concealed make it seem sad and the wide open spaces are quite isolating"
"The woman isn't lost in the smoke. She's not completely covered and she's still the main focus"
"I find the colours quite positive. It's so bright it's hard to see it in a negative way"
"I like the top one. The colour overwhelms the area and makes it more personal towards the subject. I really like the juxtaposition"
A massive thanks to the students of Hillview School For Girls and their tutor, Joanne, for visiting Still I Rise today and giving us their thoughts on this week's spotlighted works by Judy Chicago.
All of the work at the DLWP is free to visit, seven days a week. Find out more about this exhibition here: bit.ly/2MmDDmh

As part of her Extended Project, Year 13 student Lauren Browne had the opportunity to work on an independent task on a topical issue: pollution and climate change.
12.7 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans each year. (Greenpeace UK) Plastic waste is found in 90% of seabirds. One million seabirds are killed by this exact marine litter every year. (National Geographic).
This inspired Lauren to make a sculpture to show the effects plastic has on sea birds all over the world. Her sculpture can be viewed in Reception.
