On a Family Friday in August 2025, children were invited to create their own dream room diorama with Courtauld educator and illustrator, Toya Walker. Using the studio room in Van Gogh’s self-portrait as a starting point and exploring the idea of a picture within a picture, these young artists got creative, making unique spaces that tell us about themselves. Images were then looped together to create this film.
