Take One Picture 2026

Until 31 August 2026

The Roden Centre for Creative Learning

Celebrate children's creativity in this exhibition of artworks by UK primary schools

As part of our annual Take One Picture programme, children from across the UK have made artworks inspired by ‘A Regatta on the Grand Canal’ by Canaletto.

The painting shows a colourful boat race taking place in Venice. Crowds of people cheer on the gondolas as they race towards the finish line. 

Children have made a wide range of imaginative projects, all coming from their own questions and ideas about the painting. Who is going to win the race?  What’s under the water? Why do the boats look like dragons?  

This year’s exhibition features artworks from 35 primary schools and is on display in the Roden Centre for Creative Learning.

Artwork by children aged 8–11 from Hayward’s Primary School and Snaresbrook Primary School
