Famous Painting with Squares

ONE [BOX] SECOND BEFORE AWAKENING FROM A [BOX] DREAM CAUSED BY THE FLIGHT OF A [BOX] BEE AROUND A [BOX] POMEGRANATE

The assignment was to choose a famous painting (by a famous artist, I suppose) that we thought had a dynamic composition, take the painting in Adobe Illustrator, and redo the entire composition with nothing but the rectangle tool and only three colors of our choice plus black and white.  I knew immediately what painting I wanted to do since it was perfect for the assignment--One Second Before Awakening From a Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate.  It really only has three colors, it has a dynamic composition, and it was done by my favorite artist Salvador Dali.  (I even named my pet lizard after him).

So after hours of converting the tigers, the woman, the elephant, the fish, and the landscape into squares this is what I got.  It was relatively easy until I got down to the nitty gritty stuff like the tiger stripes, but that was worth it because they actually kind of look like tigers.  Aside from the being square and all.  Seriously, rectangles and squares are the most boring shapes in all of geometry.  

And now, before I conclude this post, because I cannot restrain myself, I will make a list of all the horrible puns I can associate with this project:

"I had to think outside the box for this project"

"The fish is eating three square meals a day"

"The tiger is blocking my view of the sky"

"This project required me to do some boxing"

"The woman's hair is (rec)tangled"

"The tigers are square dancing with the woman"

"Look at that fish square in the eye"

"Someone should knock that tiger's block off"

"The fish is wishing he had cube steak for dinner instead"

"The elephant is the tallest guy on the block"
