You can watch them on Dior’s YouTube channel.

• Mindful Art

  Last autumn, MasterPeace opened as a studio and curated art gallery in Eccleston Yards in response to research that showed a link between creativity, mental health and wellbeing – areas which are particularly important at the moment.

• Gardening

  It may be winter, but with new lockdown rules in place it looks like we’ll be socialising outdoors throughout the colder months too. So: it’s time to get green-fingered. ‘Gardening and spending time outdoors are activities which enable us to put down our phones, slow down and actually appreciate the world around us and the beauty and inspiration that can be found in our plants, gardens and green spaces,’ says Poppie Jamie, founder of wellbeing app Happy Not Perfect. ‘Caring for plants and watching them grow can give us a real sense of purpose and help us feel grounded.’ The RHS has joined forces with MyGardenSchool to offer a series of online gardening courses, the first being Gardening for Wildlife. This four week course consists of video lectures, an ebook, a virtual classroom, and feedback on your own garden from expert Andy McIndoe. The organisation has also launched ‘Grow at Home’, a new platform for sharing gardening advice with its members. Elsewhere, Botanical Boys have teamed up with Wardian London to run a series of complimentary terrarium masterclasses. Order a kit from the Botanical Boys’ website and tune into one of the workshops online.

• Art History

  Why is an unmade bed art? What’s the difference between contemporary and modern? Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? These are just some of the questions answered by award-winning arts education platform London Art Studies, which has opened up its subscription site and now offers an hour’s worth of free content. It’s being called the ‘Netflix of the art world’ for a reason: you can dip in an out of the short films, or follow one of the themes (from ‘Beauty’ to ‘Desire’) throughout the site.
