//Identity is the state or fact of being the same. It refers to the particular features that define individuals, groups, things, eras, places, symbols and styles. Identity can be observed, or it can be constructed, asserted, and shaped by external and internal influences.//
 * Identity**

Style Visual culture

Personal and cultural expressions


 * Identifying features of a (visual) culture can be isolated and defined as style – this may be affected by environment/geographical or socio-political actions.**

What are the defining features of the cultures you have chosen? What elements of art were utilised or manipulated to produce this identity? Are these cultural practices still evident? How have they changed or developed? What factors have influenced this change – environmental – political – geographical – sociological etc?

How can an artist construct his individual identity (express themselves) and still remain within the style of a certain visual culture? How do we define culture?

What can we consider as “cultural artefacts”? Is all art a result of the cultural influences? Is there room for personal expression and style within a wider view of culture? Is style a precursor for stereotype? Can style limit the artist?
