Jennifer De Angelo-Baxter is taking Halloween to the next level.
The 36-year-old art teacher has been transforming herself into a famous portrait every week leading up to Halloween.
De Angelo-Baxter, who teaches at a middle school in Northern Virginia, has been teaching for 12 years.
This is the first time she is doing 100% distanced learning and says it has been an adjustment.
Typically, De Angelo-Baxter would dress up for her students for Halloween, but since she won’t be seeing them in person this year, she said she wanted to find a way to connect with them.
“Doing creative things like this, outside the box, is kind of my way of just finding another way to connect,” De Angelo-Baxter said in an interview with “Good Morning America.”
So far she has transformed into Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” Frida Kahlo’s “Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird,” and Andy Warhol’s “The Marilyn Diptych.”
