Museum Challenge
Thursday, January 28, 2021
12:00am – 11:59pm
All Day
Repeats daily until 02/03/2021.
From anywhere…..
Recreate a work of art from the Benton’s collection. Inspired by the Getty Museum Challenge, we invite you to turn yourself, your family, and your pets into a masterpiece.
Feel free to browse the museum’s illustrated database for inspiration, or use the suggestions below.
Send your pics to benton@uconn.edu or post them to social media no later than Wednesday, February 3 using the hashtag #BentonMuseumChallenge. You will be entered into a drawing to win a UConn Cafes gift card OR a Benton Museum t-shirt.
Here are a few tips:
Keep it simple. Try limiting yourself to three household items, pets, or people.
Pay attention to facial expressions. They really make the portrait.
Color and pattern are important, too. Be creative and use what’s around you to recreate essential elements in the work of art.
