Over the weekend I had fun recreating famous artworks from objects at home.  This challenge started a couple of weeks ago at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  Since then it has gone viral on social media, and I have really enjoyed seeing the creativity of others.  That’s why I am not only challenging students, but their families, in this week's Art lessons. You can start by searching famous paintings and galleries online.  Many art museum websites, including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, have a search function that you can use to narrow your search more specifically. Adults at home please use caution when searching with your students.  I can only imagine the amount of giggles that might arise when viewing nudity in certain classic works of art. If this happens, explain to your student it’s a part of Art History. For example in ancient Greece it was a cultural norm that shared stories of Gods and Goddesses. Please use your best judgement to help your student or just ask them not to make it weird.  Remember all of these assignments are optional. If you choose to participate please send me your photo and the image of the original artwork with the title and artist. With your permission I would be happy to share on my instagram as well. Below I have included my examples as well as those of other staff members. You can also search the hashtags #tussenkunstenquarantaine #betweenartandquarantine on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  This is Art History’s Moment!!! I’m so excited to see what you make! 

Artfully, 

Mr. Kemper 

Art History Eggs! 🥚
I’ve been looking at so many #betweenartandquarantine challenges I decided to recreate some famous master pieces. These are actually fake eggs. When my mom ordered groceries online I asked for some eggs and she accidentally substituted the plastic ones because they were all out.
