Today, we take a trip across the pond. That's right, folks. We're heading to London!
Click here to walk the halls of the National Gallery, normally almost 4,000 miles away from your home, brought straight to your front door.
After viewing the halls of this home to some of the world's greatest art, consider some of these extension activities:
Create a masterpiece on the NGA Art Zone (from the National Gallery here in the United States): https://www.nga.gov/education/kids/kids-app.html
Suggested lessons (also from NGA): https://www.nga.gov/education/teachers/lessons-activities/1-2-lessons-activities.html
Participate in the Take One Picture project! Each year, students respond to an image from the National Gallery and create their own piece of art. Choose one piece from the history of the challenge, here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/learning/teachers-and-schools/take-one-picture/take-one-picture-previous-exhibitions
