WARNING: this one might be a good weekend project as it may need parent help!
This challenge was inspired by Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum and an Instagram account called Tussen Kunst En Quarantaine which translates to Between Art and Quarantine.
You will be recreating a famous painting using objects (and people!) around your house.
Directions:
1. Your first step is to find a painting you want to recreate. You can find one any of the following ways:
- Use one already done in the Between Art & Quarantine Instagram page HERE
- Go to the Rijksmuseum page HERE
- Use one from THIS PAGE
- Go to Google's Arts and Culture page to find one
- Google an artist you know and would like to imitate. Some great artists we've talked about in class are van Gogh, Matisse and Kahlo
2. Now that you’ve found your inspiration, pick the objects you’d like to use. Any objects are fine: from a blank piece of paper to your most elaborate hat.
3. You will be recreating this piece of art the best you can.
Here are a few tips:
4. Have someone take a photo of you.
5. When you send it to me be sure to send me a copy!

Here are a few tips:
- Make a face, strike a pose. If you’re interested in re-creating a portrait or group scene, pay attention to the facial expressions—they really make it. If you’re reenacting a scene with multiple figures, pay attention to the poses.
- Think abstractly. If you’re having trouble re-creating an artwork’s appearance, try focusing on shapes over colors.
