The annual project Take One Picture is organised by The National Gallery in London with the main aim to get art in to schools. Each year, one of the paintings displayed in the gallery is selected to promote the use of a single painting for cross-curricular teaching and learning in primary schools.
The project champions engagement with, and exploration of, a National Gallery painting as inspiration for enrichment of learning through making meaningful connections both inside and outside the classroom.
My school, St Mary Magdalen’s Catholic Primary, is located a two-minute walk away from the River Thames in Mortlake in the Royal Borough of Richmond Upon Thames. The painting selected by the National Gallery for 2012/13 was ideal for our school, which is situated right beside the point at which the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race reaches its climax.
