If you’re interested in studying Fine Art and Design A-level at a leading Sixth Form in Sheffield, then visit the art department on an open day. ‘This is a fine course which allows candidates to explore their ideas and produce some highly creative work of a very impressive standard’. – Moderator’s Report. A-level Art and Design students are encouraged to explore what interests them from different mediums to studying the work of particular artists. Our expert teachers are on hand to help you learn new skills, harness those you already have and create fantastic pieces throughout your Art AS and A level. At AS and A-level, students work increasingly independently, exploring their own ‘journey’. Teachers are on hand for guidance, to help you understand the expectations of exam boards and to ensure you achieve the very best you can in your A level while enjoying the freedom and creativity that this course offers. Each student’s ‘journey’ will look different. If you’re interested in sculpture, we can help you tailor your coursework around this. If you love the work of Andy Warhol or John Singer Sargeant’s portraits, we can help you find resources on the period or similar artists to explore this style in more detail. Our A-level Art and Design course looks how you want it to. It’s dynamic, challenging and a fantastic choice for any creative student.
