A figure with a stiff black suit, a white collared dress shirt, and a red tie stands against a blue sky with white clouds on it. The figure is wearing a black bowler hat. The figure also does not have a head, with a white envelope floating in space where its head would be. Those who know art will recognize René Magritte's painting "Son of Man". Those who know technology might recognize the iOS Mail icon.

A person and a cat stand together on a dark surface, silhouetted in front of a dark gray background. It's unclear whether this is a wall or simply empty space. A white full moon hangs in the top left. Both the person and the cat appear to be painting; the person's right hand is up, the cat's left paw is up, and blazing rainbow colors are streaming from them, dripping down the gray space as though made of runny neon paint. Both the person and the cat have rainbow light reflecting off them, suggesting that the colors are actually glowing.

A person stands on a very tall stool, painting a giant canvas. Rather than being placed on an easel, the canvas is held by a huge, furry monster. The monster's head is behind the canvas. The image on the canvas shows a figure wearing a suit and tie, but the figures head is a simple, round smiley emoji. The placement of the canvas and figure lines up precisely with where the monster's head and shoulders would be, almost as though the canvas is a mask for the monster. Which, perhaps...is one of the purposes of art? [Murmurs of approval in the faculty lounge]
