April 28, 2009 – The ‘Take One Picture’ scheme invites UK primary schools to use a painting from the National Gallery’s collection as a focus for teaching and learning across the curriculum.

Each year a different National Gallery painting is chosen to provide a starting point for exploration. Hundreds of schools have taken up the challenge since the scheme began in 1995, and many of these submit work to the Take One Picture exhibition each year.

Work from 20 schools will be exhibited in the 2009 exhibition. While some of the schools are new to the ‘Take One Picture’ scheme, others have long embedded this way of working into their yearly planning.

Over 130 schools in total took part in ‘Take One Picture’ this year, with participating pupils ranging in age from those aged just 4 to those aged 11.
