Museums Ask People To Recreate Famous Art Pieces With Things They Find At Home And People Deliver (104 Pics)
Even though most of us are stuck at home and can’t go out and enjoy art in museums, that doesn’t mean that life is boring or uncultured. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (or the Getty for short) challenged people to post photos of themselves recreating their favorite classic paintings from the safety of their homes.
The Getty’s fans responded with a lot of enthusiasm to their internet challenge and flooded social media with their unique artistic interpretations. We’ve collected some of the best recreations of famous paintings, so scroll down and feast your eyes. Don’t forget to upvote your faves and share which ones you loved best, dear Readers.
People are having a lot of fun becoming beautiful paintings, but this isn’t the first time folks have done this. In fact, the Getty Museum challenge was inspired by an Instagram account from Amsterdam called Tussen Kunst en Quarantaine (aka Between Art and Quarantine). So be sure to check them out as well. However, the Getty isn't the only art museum doing a challenge like this. The Pinchuk Art Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine, also challenged the art community to reproduce their fave oil paintings from their art collection by taking part in the #mystetstvovdoma or #artathome challenge. Check out our post about the Pinchuk Art Centre's challenge right here.

I am continually stunned and bewildered about what people put out as modern art. My kids do this even when I insist they don't! And then they complain that all of their Play-Doh is one weird brown color.

The woman in the painting has too small of a head. You did a good job but you don't have a pinhead.

Without the background, this was a very good attempt. I can understand not wanting to edit though.

Great idea! Making art is a fantastic way to get your mind off the pandemic for awhile.
