"A-level Art has given me a deeper understanding and knowledge of different artists (historical and contemporary) which allowed me to explore their techniques and styles to further developed my own work and help me find my inner style. This course gave me opportunities to improve my work but it also expanded my creativity and skill, enabling me to express myself." Juliana Grisina, lower sixth student
