recreating famous artworks at home during coronavirus quarantine

I love this “challenge” and had to give it a go! To find an image I turned to The Getty Museum and navigated to the photography collection. Recreating this photo was unsurprisingly fun, but surprisingly challenging - in the best and most addicting way. For the next one, I collaborated with my daughter. She chose a Warhol portrait or Marilyn Monroe. At first, we planned to do a magazine cut out mouth, but then realized the missing teeth in her mug were too perfect :)

Here’s how it works:

1. Pic your artwork (lots of museums are opening up their collections online for this challenge: http://getty.edu/art/collection, https://www.metmuseum.org/, www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/rijksmuseum-pubquiz)

2. Use some items you have laying around home to recreate it.

3. Share  @tussenkunstenquarantaine, @gettymuseum, @Rijksmuseum #mettwinning #artwillsaveyou, #betweenartandquarantine, #tussenkunstenquarantaine
