Social/Political Comment Collage- Child Labour

The social/political comment that I was focusing on is child labour. I chose this topic as I feel strongly towards it and don't agree with it at all. Most of the children in this collage are from Asian countries, Middle Eastern countries and African countries. In the Asia-Pacific region, 127 million children under the age of 14 are victims of child labour and in Sub-Saharan Africa, nearly one-third of children under 14 are victims of child labour. In this collage, I used scale mainly and not so much juxtaposition. The way I used scale is by the girl in the top left hand corner- she is much larger than the other pictures. I put more children in there to try and exaggerate the importance of the issue. I didn't use any particular colours or lines in this collage. The focal point of this collage is both the girl in the top left hand corner and the boy in the hard hat, on the tractor, down the bottom. I think this because those are the places where my eyes are drawn first, probably due to the fact that they are larger than the other images.
