Getty Challenge Extra Credit Assignment

What is the Getty Challenge?

1. Here is your second change to earn some big extra credit points.  Up to 20 points! Have fun here.  Go crazy.  This may be as wild as we can get right now.

2. Check out the Getty Challenge. (This link doesn’t seem to work for everyone. You may need a Washington Post subscription.)

3.https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/04/03/people-are-re-creating-famous-artworks-with-their-pets-whatever-else-is-lying-around/

4. Here’s another one from the Getty Museum itself with more examples: http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/getty-artworks-recreated-with-household-items-by-creative-geniuses-the-world-over/ 

5. Do the Getty Challenge.  There are some very specific criteria for this.

You must use a work of art from the Getty Museum of Art. Here’s a link to their collection: https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/

6. Recreate the art work with items found lying around your house.  (The Getty encourages you to get your pets, your kids, your toilet paper, your crazy sense of humor involved in the effort.)

7. Post the original Getty work with its title, artist, and date,along with your re-creation to the Course Wiki by the end of Module 13, i.e., Monday, November 23, by NOON.  

8. You have to follow all the rules here, folks.  I want a photo of the original work of art with its artist/title/date AND your recreation.

9. If you don’t know how to upload to the Wiki or had trouble uploading to the course Wiki, Blackboard is available for tons of help every weekday from 11am – 5pm.  Click on the link in Blackboard’s home page to connect with an expert during their office hours.

10. Don’t wait until the last minute to upload your work.  Submit it as soon as you’re done!

First, make sure you have downloaded a copy of the Getty work you are copying and your recreation photograph to your computer.

Then:  

1. Click on “Course Wiki”in the green tab on the class home page.

2. Click on “Getty Challenge”

3. The next page will say on the top “Create Wiki Page.”Check and make sure you’re on that page.   Put the  of the original Getty art work in the box where it says “Name.”

4. Then look at the three rows of icons just below the word “Content.” Go to the third row. Starting at the left, there is a little paper clip, then a little landscape.  Click on that little landscape.That’s going to let you insert a photo.

5. A new screen will appear.  Click on the box that says “Browse my computer.”Find your Getty art work photo (the original work that you are copying) that you’ve already put on your computer. Select it.  Once you’ve done that, you’ll be returned to that page with the “Browse my computer” box.  Down on the bottom right click the box “Insert.” Your Getty art work is now uploaded.

6. Click the little landscape box again.  That new screen will appear.  Click on the box that says “Browse my computer.”Find your recreation (the photo you took of your recreation of the Getty original) that you’ve already put on your computer. Select it.  Once you’ve done that, you’ll return to that page with the “Browse my computer” box.  Down on the bottom right click the box “Insert.” Now your recreation photo is uploaded.

7. You’ll be able to see your two photos on the screen, usually one on top of the other.  If you don’t see them, they’re not uploaded.  Try again.  If you see them, just click “Submit”at the bottom right of the screen.  

You’re done, I’ll grade, and now we all can enjoy your work!
