Hey everybody! I hope that this video finds you all well. I wanted to start off this second full

2
00:00:07,389 --> 00:00:15,949
week of videos by showing you an activity that I have done during quarantine to stay maybe not

3
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:22,629
active physically but definitely active mentally and creatively in this time. So what I'm going to

4
00:00:22,629 --> 00:00:27,649
do first is I'm going to explain this challenge to you. It's called the Getty Museum Challenge

5
00:00:27,649 --> 00:00:36,850
And basically what people are doing is they are recreating famous paintings, famous works of art, and that can be any sort of painting.

6
00:00:36,969 --> 00:00:49,409
So it can be a landscape, you know, maybe you're looking at rolling hills and beautiful trees and flowers, or it could be a portrait or, you know, maybe some other subject matter in there.

7
00:00:49,409 --> 00:00:51,450
But people are recreating all of them.

8
00:00:51,890 --> 00:00:55,549
I'll show you some examples on the screen so you can see what I'm talking about.

9
00:00:55,549 --> 00:01:08,939
and so I took part in this challenge a couple weeks ago and I want to walk you through the

10
00:01:08,939 --> 00:01:14,099
steps in the process of how I got through recreating a painting basically the first

11
00:01:14,099 --> 00:01:20,560
thing I did was I had to decide what works of art I actually wanted to recreate so for me I googled

12
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,599
renaissance painting redhead renaissance painting ginger because I wanted to do a portrait or

13
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:31,760
something like that I thought that it would be a bit easier for me and I found those paintings

14
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:39,579
that I wanted to recreate. Step two was I looked at the pictures, the paintings, and I went around

15
00:01:39,579 --> 00:01:46,319
my house and tried to find props or costumes that I could use that kind of matched the artwork. It

16
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,659
wasn't perfect, but I got as close as I could. And I'll show you the result of that in the next

17
00:01:52,659 --> 00:01:59,019
videos. And then the third thing I did was I got ready to take the pictures. So I was home alone

18
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:05,200
at first, and I had rigged up this whole setup. You know, I had my phone on a water bottle,

19
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,159
the photo was going to take with a timer. I'll put a picture of that in the video here,

20
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:16,860
and then right as I was about to take my first picture, my roommate came home, thank goodness,

21
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:22,639
and she laughed at me, took the picture that I just showed you, and she offered to take my

22
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,000
pictures for me. So she was my photographer. Thank goodness she came home from the supermarket when

23
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,840
she did and it was a really good time overall we both had so much fun

24
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,900
recreating the pictures it was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to

25
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:42,099
be and because of that I'm recommending it to all of you a I think it's a good

26
00:02:42,099 --> 00:02:46,620
activity that could last a couple of days you can maybe get your parents

27
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:50,979
involved if you have any siblings or anyone who's living with you who would

28
00:02:50,979 --> 00:02:55,419
maybe be interested in this you could all do it together and if you want to

29
00:02:55,419 --> 00:03:00,539
see more information or more examples, you can go on Instagram. If you look under the hashtag

30
00:03:00,539 --> 00:03:06,180
Getty Museum Challenge, I'll write it in the video so that you can go ahead and look at them.

31
00:03:06,259 --> 00:03:10,139
There are some really cool ones on there, some funny ones, and you could also post your own

32
00:03:10,139 --> 00:03:11,360
pictures if you end up doing them.
