Being stuck at home doesn’t mean we can’t get creative and find new ways to appreciate great art! The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California saw the “stay at home” order as a chance to engage art lovers in a new way! The museum issued a challenge via social media asking people to recreate their favorite pieces of art using household items.
We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.
🥇 Choose your favorite artwork
🥈 Find three things lying around your house⠀
🥉 Recreate the artwork with those itemsAnd share with us. pic.twitter.com/9BNq35HY2V
