Teach Primary Issue 18.7

An inspiring primary art project from the National Gallery TakeOne Picture 1 SPARK YOUR PUPILS’ IMAGINATIONS AND CREATIVITY Take One Picture is a national programme for primary schools. 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. 2 DEVELOP CHILDREN’S VISUAL LITERACY, SPEAKING AND PRACTICAL SKILLS After taking part, teachers report a marked increase in their pupils’ critical thinking, vocabulary and practical skills. Projects are shaped by the children as they explore the themes of the painting. 3 LEARN HOW YOU CAN USE ART THROUGHOUT THE CURRICULUM Take One Picture explores how one painting can inspire learning across the curriculum. A free online CPD day will teach you about the painting and show you techniques for using art as a resource for curriculum-based learning. 4 BE PART OF A CELEBRATION AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY Every year the National Gallery exhibits projects from schools across the country in its Take One Picture exhibition. You can submit your finished project for a chance to be part of a celebration at the National Gallery.
