Art Rosenbaum’s mural “Doors,” created for UGA’s Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies, tells the history of Georgia politics in the 20th century. Rosenbaum fit more than 100 years of history onto a 30 feet wide wall. He made choices about what people, places and events to include to tell a complex story. Now it’s your turn. How would you tell people your story — the history of you. What images would you include? What would you leave out?
You will need:
- Paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Photographs, magazines, books, anything you can cut up
- Markers
To make your History of You collage:
- Search through your images and find ones that you think are important.
- Cut your images out and arrange them on your paper. The story could read right to left, or mix people, places, and events in whatever way you think works best. Layer images and cover the page as much as you want.
- After you glue your images down, draw more details with your markers to tie the story together.
- Snap a photo and share your finished work with us by tagging @georgiamuseum and @RusslibUGA.
