A Relief From Boredom
While relief from the anxiety and boredom of the pandemic is not yet in sight, many are finding some comfort in the act of creating and engaging with art by participating in this challenge.
This outfit, with the flannel plants and the makeshift hat, comes pretty close to the real deal, good thing he had a flute close by!
Family Portrait
The most heartwarming part of this challenge is not just the creations, but how kind and generous people are when commenting about their favorite pieces.
When the Getty Museum team was thinking about what they could do during this trying time, with so many institutions being closed, it seemed natural that they thought of this idea. That what art could offer all of us during this time is a sense of community.
Seeing Art Differently
Once limitations on public life are lifted, and life returns to as it was before, participation in the Getty social media challenge will certainly fade.
Recreating these looks may be difficult, but that is is the point and makes this challenge, umm well, challenging.
Pug With a Pearl Earring
Some followers used their pets as stand-ins as human replacements, while everyone who joined in on the fun had to get inventive about what items they would use.
This pug looks oh so regal, and she's our second favorite girl with a pearl earring!
Basket of Things
Toilet paper fruit, to be exact. This is both spot-on and funny! His baskets with toilet paper instead of fruits have been changed to something a bit more topical at the start of quarantine.
This is exactly the type of toilet paper humor we were hoping to see out of this contest!
