Galileo Collage

This collage celebrates the achievements and discoveries of Galileo. My collage portrays his achievements using historical, informative, and colorful graphics, paints and glosses. As an educator and artist, I want the viewer to be drawn in, have fun and learn something while engaging with my artwork. Even though the subject of my collage is scientific in nature, I want the audience to view the subject in an artist way and show how learning through art can be achieved. This collage would be an amazing addition to a science lover's library, office or home. It is eye catching in a room without taking over, urban in design, and a great way to celebrate a great scientist! Galileo is best known for his discovery of the 4 largest moons of Jupiter, proving the validity of the Heliocentric theory, and his work on falling objects. Popular culture has him dropping two cannonballs of differing masses off the leaning tower of Pisa and professing that all falling objects accelerate at the same rate regardless of their size, shape, or mass (in a vacuum). He also studied the resistance of bodies to separation, the cause of cohesion, naturally accelerated motion, the motion of projectiles and pendulums, the force of percussion, principles of relativity, inertia, and gravity. He vastly improved the telescope and was then able to view and record Jupiter's largest moons, sunspots, moon craters and the phases of Venus. He wrote numerous seminal books and manuscripts that shaped modern astronomy, physics, mathematics, engineering and established the scientific method as we know it today. He is known as the "father of modern science."
