About
The regatta is about to begin, and everyone is invited to the celebration! Which animal will you become?
Inspired by the lively carnival atmosphere of Canaletto's 'A Regatta on the Grand Canal', create your own animal mask using colourful papers, feathers, crayons and drawing materials. Choose from a selection of animal templates – or invent your own – as you transform yourself into a playful carnival character ready to join the festivities.
Before you begin, discover your carnival alter ego with our animal personality quiz! Will you be as brave as a lion, as curious as a cat, or as wise as an elephant?
