If you're on Instagram, you may have already seen this viral challenge initiated by the Getty Museum. They have encouraged art lovers in lockdown to recreate their favourite art works using things from home. Below are some of my favourites so far, we'd love to see what you come up with too! Post to the Ararira Springs Facebook page with the painting you are recreating!
Kids love to dance and it also doubles as a way to move and get active.
Plan a dance party at home.
You could keep it simple and just dance around the living room or you could go a little further with the planning.
You might not do all of these steps, instead just choose ones of interest
1. Think of a theme - this will be based on the style or era of music and may influence dress or decorations
2. Create an invitation - stay true to your theme
3. Invite a friend and face time them to your party
4. Make some decorations
5. Consider if you will have food? If so, what food or drink fits with the theme of your music?
6. Research your theme and create a playlist
Who were the popular artists in this era/ theme?
Where did this music originate?
Were there any significant dances that you can learn?
Was there any fashion that was typical of the time or theme - can you recreate this at home?
7. Enjoy your dance party!
8. Take some photos or record some video and post it to your learning at home page on Linc-Ed/Hero.
Here are some YouTube Clips to inspire you:
It is completely up to you. This idea might take you in a different direction that a dance party - you might create a dance video instead.
