Art Students Turned Themselves Into Famous Paintings For the Annual Halloween Parade

Sandwiched between Tokyo and Yokohama, Kawasaki is a Japanese city famous for its heavy industry, open air folk museum, and… one of the biggest and most colorful Halloween celebrations in the country.

Participants in the annual Halloween parade have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite characters. A very clever group of student from The Amazing School of Special Effects decided to dress up as famous paintings and other works of fine art.

Amongst the artists and works represented are Vincent Van Gogh “Self Portrait“, Johannes Vermeer “Girl With a Pearl Earring“, Edvard Munch “The Scream“, Leonardo da Vinci “Mona Lisa” and the infamously disfigured painting of Jesus.

Around 2,000 people participated in the 22nd annual Halloween parade in the city of Kawasaki, but none stood out as much as these art students.
