Every year, the National Gallery’s Take One Picture programme invites primary school children to explore one painting from the collection and create their own artworks inspired by it.

This year, de Hooch’s beautiful 17th-century painting has inspired children to make all kinds of creative projects — from wicker sculptures and cardboard houses to clay tiles and even baked apple pies!

The children’s artwork is on display across three sites in and around the National Gallery. You can also enjoy a digital augmented reality trail that brings their creations to life.

The exhibition features work by children aged 6–11 from Woodford Valley Primary Academy and Parkhill Junior School.

Head down to these spots to experience the magic:

  • Jubilee Walk – Augmented Reality Experience
  • St James’s Market Pavilion
  • The Roden Centre for Creative Learning

A fun, creative way to see art from a new perspective right in London’s West End.
