Each year, one painting from the National Gallery’s collection is selected to create child-led, cross-curricular projects. You decide on the length of the project, when you complete it and how many students take part. To get started, sign up for a free online CPD day led by National Gallery experts. A member of the team will teach you about the painting and show you techniques for using art as a resource for curriculum-based learning.
