Netizens Recreate Famous Artworks In The Best Twitter Thread You'll See Today

As people practicing social distancing and self isolation look for ways to kill boredom, fun Internet challenges are thriving on social media. From bingo cards on Instagram to dance trends on TikTok, social media users are getting more and more creative in order to make the most of the ample time they find themselves with. In the midst of this, a challenge with an artsy twist is going viral online. 

It all began when the Getty Museum challenged their followers to "recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home."

"Choose your favorite artwork, find three things lying around your house, recreate the artwork with those items," the museum wrote on Twitter Wednesday. 

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

???? Choose your favorite artwork
???? Find three things lying around your house⠀
???? Recreate the artwork with those items

The response to their tweet has been overwhelming. Since being shared online, the tweet has collected nearly 5,000 'likes' and hundreds of responses from people recreating their favourite artworks and praising others who have done so. 

Take a look at some of the best recreations below:

This is not the only challenge where people have had the opportunity to put their creativity on display with limited resources. Before this, actor Billy Porter's challenge to fans to recreate his 2019 Met Gala look using only items found at home had also received delightful responses.
