Day seven and a reminder to hang in there. In this period of social distancing, there’s no denying the need to get a little creative at home…

Perfectly timed with our one-week countdown, there is a museum-worthy, fine art-themed challenge doing the rounds courtesy of Twitter. Better yet, it’s fun DIY (not the mammoth list of real household tasks kind of DIY).

For those who don’t know too much about art, no need to worry. This challenge is more centred on life imitating art, and the good news is that everyone’s invited to join in the fun.

As museums recently closed their doors around the globe due to the coronavirus pandemic, the J. Paul Getty Museum has suggested people get off the couch and get creative for some much-needed laughs and a whole lot of “likes”.

We don’t know about you, but we’re loving the transformation of art to real life with the help of social media. Why not try your best to top some of our favourite finds pictured here.

The Los Angeles-based museum has taken to Twitter, asking those who want to get involved to share your creation with them via your own social media channels in the days that follow:

“We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home”.

Challenge accepted: Get involved by sharing your art entry

The whole world has seemingly come to the party recreating some of the most famous masterpieces. However, if this all sounds like too much for your current lockdown regime, sit back, relax and instead enjoy these spoilers courtesy of some people who are obviously needing a little creative stimulation.
