Students Remake 'Starry Night' With Cereal

A high school class in Utah broke the world record for large re-creation of a Van Gogh painting—and did it with cereal. Humanities teacher Doyle Geddes led his students on the reproduction project this weekend, using hundreds of pounds of multi-colored cereal to make a 72- by 90-foot replica of the famous painting. “To the best of our knowledge it is the largest re-creation of a Van Gogh work of art in any medium,” Geddes said.

Wary of being wasteful, Geddes had the cereal recycled after the public viewing on Saturday—he donated it to a pig farmer to use for feed. “So ‘Starry Night’ is going to the pigs, and I think Van Gogh would be happy with that,” Geddes told the Herald Journal. "I think he’d be happy that we’re doing it and I think he would love the madness of his work of art going to the pigs.”
