correcting history with scissor and glue.

I don't always have 4-7 hours time to make big collages like the fashion collage which is made out of ~50 elements, but I also don't want to get out of "practice". That's why I decided to try to make collages out of just a few elements. 

There is this amazing Tumblr blog that is such a great inspiration for me and they make amazing collages out of 2-3 pieces: 

We Are Dead Paper

Love it!

And here's what I made yesterday:

You can see Copernicus' idea of heliocentrism in the background and a a group of men being all excited about the war in the front. I put these two things together to correct history a bit.

People being that excited about a war is not okay and it was wrong how they treated Copernicus, Galilei and all the others when they talked about heliocentrism and all the other amazing stuff they found out.

Now I put this together and got a group of people all happy and excited about the heliocentrism.

That's what Copernicus should have deserved...

My old history book had to bite the dust for that. Don't yell at me for destroying teaching material, I already did it myself...

And, why do I always like the scanned version of my collages better than the original? I don't know...they always look better after scanning. And a good thing about scanning is, that the collages get bigger. Here's a picture for you to imagine how small it is (click to enlarge)
