Recreate a Famous Work of Art (This challenge is now closed)

Using anything but the arts package on your computer, recreate some real-world art using everyday objects. Examples: melt some clocks in the oven to do some Dali, or shape the Venus de Milo out of mashed potato. Anything is possible.

Back to the drawing board.
