August Monthly Challenge
We invite you to participate in our monthly art challenge. The theme for this month is RAFFMA Look-Alike.
Choose a favorite artwork and recreate it using props, friends, pets or household items. The goal is to create a look-alike image of this chosen artwork.
We look forward to seeing your creativity shine!
How to participate:
- Pick a piece of art to recreate
- Take a picture
- Post on social media (Instagram or Twitter) your look-alike AND the original artwork
- Use the hashtag #RAFFMALOOKALIKE
Challenge ends August 31, 2020
Two winners will be chosen randomly and announced on September 2, 2020.
Questions, please contact raffma@csusb.edu
The idea was inspired by the Getty Challenge.
