Due to many museums closing due to Covid a couple of years ago, they made some very fun challenges for people to do at home and participate!
You’re going to do exactly that!
It all started with this instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/tussenkunstenquarantaine/
Here are some images from the “Museum Challenge”

People Recreate Works of Art With Objects Found at Home During Self-Quarantine
Here are some Guidelines for you:
Choose something “Historical” This piece should be AT LEAST 50 years old. You can go as far back as possible. Use the virtual museums link.
Use photography, people/ pets around you and found objects and settings to recreate the artwork.
I would start with thinking and looking around to see what you can use and then start searching for artworks. I would have a few selected at first.You may have to go back and forth and compare between what you have around and what artwork you are able to recreate to the best of your ability.
Here are some things to pay close attention to:
Characters and objects in the chosen artwork (representative) or shapes and sizes (abstract). How many can you get close? Start with a minimum of 3 and go from there.
Setting. (background, foreground)
Color and Texture. (objects around, clothes they are wearing, etc.)
Lighting. (Which direction is the light coming from? How intense is it?)
Perspective, Framing (cropping).
You will get more points as close as you can get it and to what complexity you went for.
You are not allowed to recreate the artwork using the traditional art materials. You may use a teeny-tiny bit of paint/ art stuff or photoshop. That should be less than 5% of the work put into it.
Part 1
A picture of the original artwork with a label and a picture of the new reproduction with a label.
