Stand right in front of a Degas pastel drawing, and try photographing a 360-degree photograph with multiple-stitching. You get some fun results with how the application auto-stitches the exposures together.
Normally, 360-degree panorama apps like this are meant to photograph a larger scene outdoors, or maybe even a room. On my iPhone I use 360 Panorama by Occipital, Inc.

The result is kinda fun. I might try more of this in the future. Maybe next time I’ll continue to shoot the entire surround with the artwork really close on one side.
And for those curious, here’s what the Degas drawing, “Ballet at the Paris Opéra” actually looks like:
