Classic Art Recreation: "Stay-At-Home Edition"
You are Da Vinci. You are Mona Lisa. You are the brush, the oil and the canvas. Also, it's April 2020 and you are in your house!
Several museums around the world have made virtual galleries accessible for free and issued challenges like the one from Los Angeles' Getty, which asked people to recreate their favorite works of art using only what's available to them at home. Curtis Singmaster, FVS fine arts department chair, used this as an assignment to tease out the creativity in his students...and it worked.
