Edexcel Alevel Art - Union

The exam theme for 2025 is Union, I have no idea what I could possibly do for this theme, any ideas/help will be really helpful!
Thanks!

Maybe you could base it around relationships? Either romantic, friendship or family? I did a project about my aunt and her adopted kids and centred it around union within their family. My starting point was 'Identity' but I feel like that could also apply to your theme. You could also think about union between cultures, relate it to the European union? I had someone do a project about different world leaders and that was really interesting. Links within society? I'm envisioning coloured stitching on top of canvas stitching different concepts together to show unity between them. I feel like you could make a very strong piece of coursework about unity between cultures and races and incorporate traditional styles of art, fashion, architecture and nature from each culture.

No Problem :smile:) I did GCSE art but decided to follow STEM subjects instead for Alevels and I miss being creative
