It appears that boredom lies behind the most creative ideas. That's why quarantine has produced some of the most entertaining activities. One of them is the Getty Museum challenge that so many of you have already seen in our previous article here. The challenge, which asks people to recreate famous works of art by using things they find around the home, has gained a lot of traction. Apparently, people love to dress up and compete with each other over who can recreate a well-known painting better. The art enthusiasts can't stop participating in this challenge, so scroll down below for their latest creations!

What I love so much about all of these is the moment a person says to themselves....ah! I have all the stuff I need, right here, to recreate this artwork! And then do it!!
As for the original: I've always found Frida Kahlo both a silly artist and a wretched person. But THIS is very different from her other works. Looks like it took more than an 8-year-old's skills; the abstracted colors add a vibrancy to her; I can almost imagine why people are impressed by her.
Easier to get imagination detail with paint than with a camara unless you're willing to put as much work in the photo as in the painting.
Yes this not a Frida Kahlo painting I was goin to say. Thank you Radostina for the info
There is more 'dancing appeal' in the original the replicas a bit too posed without motion, but effective portrayal.
you obviously live in a cave...Joe Biden never did anything; it was a smear campaign...fool

Fantastic in the true sense of the word! Imitation breeds originality. I didn't know.
Getting creative, I think it is brilliant! More relaxed in the ppe department! ❤️
Thanks for having this contest. All the entries were very creative!
These are amazing and show so much creativity.. And some were so humorous.
The creativity that blooms from solitude is breathtaking. Thank-you for sharing an energy that can make us all feel a little bit more alive and hopeful.
#9 recreation should be in the same museum that the original painting is. If art is about feelings and beauty, this recreation is just that, beautiful feelings.
