Ready, set, go! Families can have fun making and talking about art at home inspired by works in the National Gallery's collection.

Kick-start art appreciation and making with your little one from the comfort of your own home. Art Family brings you a user-friendly guide for engaging young children with a work of art from the national collection. Each instalment will equip you with tips for chatting, learning and making in response to one focus work.

In this Art Family, we take you on a creative journey with the Cologne School and focus on the theme of celebrating with friends and family.
