Student Art Guide:
great resource for student artist!

Kate is no stranger to success. She has achieved outstanding results as a student at North Halifax Grammar School, West Yorkshire, England, gaining A* (the highest grade) in OCR GCSE Art as a Year 9 student, two years younger than is expected, and A* for A Level Art OCR in Year 12. She achieved full marks (100%) for AQA AS and A Level Photography in Year 13 and is currently waiting for her AQA AS History of Art and Art Textiles results. Most teenagers would find these accomplishments outstanding enough, but Kate Powell is especially committed, passionate and driven. She has taken a Creative Foundation Certificate outside of school, produced a commissioned drawing of her headmaster, had her work published in the UK Specialist Crafts catalogue and found time to produce her own artwork, while nurturing a supportive and growing online fan base.
