If you were a room, what would it look like? #WelcomeCreate art tasks are back and this month's challenge is all about interiors! Often, a lot of thought is given when decorating a bedroom or a child’s room, considering the colours or themes that would make it feel like it represents us in some way. In this task we invite you to create a room that would be a visual representation of you. How would the room look? Download the instructions for this creative activity for free on our website. Link in bio. We can't wait to see your responses - use our hashtag #WelcomeCreate tag us @Pitzhanger.

''Everything starts from a dot'' 🔵 - Wassily Kandinsky February's #WelcomeCreate art task focuses on circles. Inspired by the many concentric circles found within the interiors of Pitzhanger Manor, this activity plays with colour, pattern and repetition to design an attractive piece. Circles are often used to signify unity, wholeness, birth and rebirth. The oldest found are carvings, named petroglyphs, etched into rock, from around 40,000 years ago. Download this activity online for free. Link in our bio. For inspiration, check out artists that feature concentric circles such as Sonia Delauney, Alma Thomas and Wassily Kandinsky Art challenge created by Sarah Olive Edwards @sarahtonin_seeker and Tincy Patel @art.tee5.

Soane's 'ancient colonnade' with its simple columns and exposed wooden roof structure recalls the 'primitive hut' from which the Greek orders of architecture were thought to have evolved. ⠀ ⠀ This beautiful shady colonnade was demolished in Victorian times and restored in 2018. It provides a walkway between the Manor and the Gallery today.⠀ ⠀ #architecture #LearnWithPitzhanger #colonnade #restoration #johnsoane #pitzhanger #Greek #classics #outdoors #garden #museumfromhome ⠀ ⠀

⁣How many 'times of day' are there? 🌙 ⠀ Morning, noon, evening and night can blur into one - and so can the days in lockdown.⠀ ⠀ Luckily we have a few #PitzPicks to keep you entertained:⠀ ⠀ 1 Online Lecture: Walking the Streets: William Hogarth’s The Four Times of Day (1736–1738). Available from 28 May, this is the first lecture in a six-part Public Lecture series, titled Georgian Provocations: Six Iconic Works of Art from Eighteenth-Century Britain run by the @paulmelloncentr ⠀ ⠀ 2 Teach an Art Lesson with help from @magiclanternart . This educational charity is providing resources to help kids explore art for parents and teachers to use at home or in school. Choose one artwork at a time, and, after looking at it and answering the questions, you can do one or more of the follow-on art or literacy activities!⠀ ⠀ 3 Watch Es Devlin’s Culture in Quarantine Masterclass. Devlin guides viewers through the process of turning ideas into forms from broad research and initial sketches to physical projection-mapped sculpture. Keep an eye out for a glimpse of Memory Palace – Devlin’s installation at Pitzhanger. #cultureinquarantine @bbcarts ⠀ Link to blog in bio ⬆️ ⠀ ⠀ #isolationactivities #Hogarth #art #educate #sunset #evening #daytime #nature #esdevlin #MemoryPitzhanger #learnwithpitzhanger
