Assignment was to create "art" using only a scanner and 3-D objects. I started with a scan of Grant Wood's famous painting and a visit to the local farmers market. Using an HP scanner, a paring knife, and a bottle of glass cleaner, I created this image. Can you spot all the modifications to the original painting?

Frame: created from a handful of coffee beans, 3 peanuts, a cross-section of an ear of cauliflower, and two rows of corn kernels extracted from a scan of the full ear of corn.

Painting mods: pitchfork replaced with dinner fork, added a "bleeding peach" on top of the fork, added to the farmer: glasses, gourd beard, orange peel pate, sunglasses, and cauliflower horns. Added to the wife, lapel corn buttons, pea-pod broach, strawberry broach overlays the original cameo broach, added bluetooth headset, added sock hat, corn texture added to the dress, eye brows "raised". Mods to the house: trees replaced with limes, added celery trees, added celery paneling to the upper floor of the house, added corn to the top level window, added string-bean siding to main flow, added snap peas as plants on the house front porch.
