Van Gogh painting reproduced out of breakfast cereal

In Smithfield Utah high school students have completed a masterpiece.
It's a 6,400-square-foot replica of Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" created out of breakfast cereal.

The original is in the photo below.
 
150 students Sky View High School worked on the project, using two tons of colorful Malt-O-Meal spread across the gym floor.
It took a week to complete with crews spreading a plastic sheet on the floor, then created a grid to outline the painting's famous design. Each space was assigned a color to correspond with the painting and filled with the cereal.
The whole thing ended Saturday and the cereal was given to a farmer to feed pigs.
