Art Lovers Recreate Works of Art Using Everyday Objects—and the Results Are Hilarious
May 12, 2020
As people continue to find creative ways of coping during the novel coronavirus quarantines, several social media pages have challenged art lovers to recreate famous masterpieces using objects from around their house—and the results are pretty hilarious.
Since issuing the artistic challenge last week, the museum’s Twitter inbox has reportedly been “flooded” with amusing recreations.
“Our audience told us loud and clear that they wanted to see beautiful artworks, learn more about art from home, and find delight on social media,” Getty Museum social media manager Sarah Waldorf told Yahoo Lifestyle. “We wanted to offer up a creative challenge to find refuge from the uncertain state of the world and to spark excitement to get creative—no extra materials required.” 
The social media challenge was reportedly inspired by the Dutch Instagram page Tussenkunstenquarantaine, which translates to “between art and quarantine”.
Amsterdam-based Anneloes Officier and her roommates were reportedly inspired to launch the account after they recreated Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring out of quarantined boredom. In a matter of just a few short weeks, their account has been flooded with over 400 contributions. Content from Good News Network
