Seniors Embrace the Arts During Quarantine
What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?
These are just two of the images that accompany mymodernmet.com’s article “Seniors Recreate Works of Art While in Covid-19 Quarantine.” The seniors took part in the Getty Museum Challenge, the object being to recreate paintings from items around the house.

These images are so visually striking and uplifting. A lot of diversity is represented in the group as well. The seniors used their creativity and their imagination to take part in the challenge. These photos were taken at the Amenida Seniors Community in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Perhaps other museums can follow suit and issue “museum challenges” to ease the stress of Covid-19.
