Team All Stars has been busy recreating works of art using household objects, to keep everyone smiling while we’re stuck at home!
It can be hard to stay cheerful during lockdown, so we hope our efforts make you laugh and forget your troubles for a little while.
Click on each picture for an explanation of exactly how we made our images,
and to find out about some of the unusual items we used.
If you’d prefer to see the pictures without any text, just open an image,
click on the speech marks in the top right hand corner and the writing will disappear!
If you’d like to join us in this challenge, it’s pretty straightforward: you can recreate any pieces of art
– from ancient statues to comic book covers – then make them your own using whatever you have to hand.
We’d really love to see your masterpieces, so send me your pictures and I’ll add them to the gallery.
