OnLine Art with Mrs. Buchner

4-10-20 & 4-13-20 recreate a painting

FAMOUS ARTISTS WEEK!

Friday, April 10 & Monday, April 13th Art Challenge

Even though we are off school for break Friday and Monday, here is a fun game you can play at home with your family. It involves dressing up and pretending to BE a painting. Scroll down and you will see a number of painting to choose from. You can also see the recreations Mrs. Buchner and her family made.

This challenge comes from the Getty Museum and you can see more examples here. You can also see more from MyModernMet.

Do you want to find your own picture? Virtually visit an art museum such as Louvre in Paris, The Chicago Art Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Guggenheim.

Challenge: Recreate a famous painting.

If you want to do challenges from other days, you can find them all here: Art Challenge Archives.
