A Co Cork primary school has created its own "masterful" collection of quarantine art inspired by some of the world's most famous artworks.

From Van Gogh to Bansky, Rafael to Frida Kahlo, the children from Carrigaline Educate Together School have being having fun recreating the Masters' masterpieces and sharing them online.

Deputy Principal Rory Ward says it is all part of keeping in touch while being forced to stay apart because of the Coronavirus.

The art project was his brainchild, and he says he was inspired by the online Getty art challenge and felt the school community - given the sudden end to the school year in March - would enjoy a fun challenge.

He uploaded a lesson to SEESAW, the online teaching application the school is using, and gave everyone two weeks to work on it using household objects.

One student recreates 'Medusa' by Caravaggio

Mr Ward says that the reaction has been fantastic.

"Immediately, people were interested, whole families wanted to get involved," he said.

"If it makes people happy and makes them smile for ten seconds, then that is the achievement and it is a testament to the school and our school community."

Mr Ward says one of the most popular recreations was Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' which he joked "is probably because is it emblematic of how everyone in the world is feeling right now!"

Mia Keohane, 8, who along with her six-year-old brother Tom recreated Grant Wood's 'American Gothic' said "it was the best homework we did in all our lives!"

Their mother Emer said that the task was great fun.

"When we got the message straightaway we just went online searching for some photographs and what we had around the house to recreate it. We really enjoyed it," she said.

Shayne Carrara, 13, and her sister ten-year-old Anabelle chose Banksy's 'Heaven's Gate' for their art project.

Their father, Domenique, said they did several paintings but decided on the Banksy one in the end because the boys in it are climbing up to go into Paradise, and "for the girls, paradise is the school".

Get out for a walk as much as you can and enjoying noticing what is going on around you. If you're able, why not increase your pace so you are a bit more out of breath and if that's okay for you why not jog. If that gets too difficult go back to a walk and when you're ready back to jog. Most of you made great progress when we were doing our 1km run so it would be great to keep that up.

# data[].attributes.body
Try your best to do a 1km run today. As I said before if you can't run the full way just swop to walk and then back to run when you are ready. If you keep this up your fitness will really improve. For the very fit people out there try to move to a 2km run and work on increasing your pace.

# data[].attributes.body
Try to do at least a 1km walk today if the weather allows. If the weather is bad find a spot inside and do 10 of each exercise. If you don.t like one swop for another.
10  star jumps, 10 high knees, 10 seconds run on the spot,  10 strides, 10 sec wall sit. 10 sit ups, 10 press ups, 10 squats, 10 high kicks, 10 high jumps and then run up and down the stairs 10 times!
