The school community put its best creative foot forward by recreating pieces of artwork that are on display at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

The challenge was originally created by the Getty Museum on 25 March. People were challenged to feel artistically inspired and use household items to recreate one of the famous art pieces.
