Whether you teach, A level, GCSE or BTEC, this resource has been designed to give the students a head start with finding inspiration from Artists and Designers whose work is strongly intertwined with the theme of ‘Cultural Identity’. It contains the names of fifty artists and designers. The first twenty artists and designers have a dedicated slide with images of some of their work to provide discussion points. The next thirty artists have a short synopsis next to their name, to give a small insight into their work. The power point includes a ‘do now task’, to get the students thinking about the importance of looking at the work of others, as well as some tips on how to find the best primary and secondary research. This powerpoint could save you hours of time, that you would usually spend, looking for the appropriate artists and designers to share with your pupils.

Edexcel Btec Technical Award in Art & Design Practice 2026: Component 1 Title: ‘Cultural Identity’. This powerpoint gives the students a great start to understanding the theme by deeply delving into the topic of ‘Cultural Identity’ and what it means to be us. There are two main tasks. One, to produce a creative mind map. The second, to make a visually exciting mood board from the thoughts and words generated by the first task. Comprehensive keywords and definitions are included. There are links to short Youtube clips of what it means to be ‘British’ to support the students to start their own discussion points. This is an excellent resource to the aid the students with the intial generation of ideas. There will be a follow on powerpoint of artists and designers that link to the theme of ‘Cultural Identity’ shortly.

‘Cultural Identity’ is a popular theme for A level/G.C.S.E and BTEC Art and Design courses alike. This comprehensive power point contains key words and definitions, short video discussion points (You tube links) as well as two main activities to support the students to work independently, to generate numerous ideas, around the theme, that they will then present in their sketchbooks/portfolios as a creative mind map (Task 1) and visually exciting mood board (task 2). A follow up power point with a collection of artists and designers that look at the theme of ‘Cultural Identity’ will be uploaded shortly, so that this project can support a full component one module.
