'Gathering' 2025 GCSE Art & Design: A Student Introduction

This 15-slide PowerPoint presentation is designed to support students with the new ESA Component 2 Edexcel Pearson GCSE Art and Design ‘Gathering’ theme for 2025. It includes an overview of the ESA, critical prompt questions on each slide to stimulate student reflection, and a starter activity to engage students right at the beginning of the project.

The presentation introduces 8 artist profiles, covering key areas such as ‘Gathering: People,’ ‘Gathering: Human-made,’ and ‘Gathering: Environment & Natural World.’ At the end of the presentation, there is a mind-map slide offering inspiration for their own project development and mind mapping.

This resource provides a structured and engaging approach to kick-starting the ESA project and encouraging deeper creative exploration. This resource is tailored to the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Art and Design specification!
