My idea

I am going to include all contempory issues with a fore ground of a mother and child looking into a collage of contempory issues! But how am I going to do this? I need to research some backgrounds. Is it going to be a dark portrayal or a bright and hopeful one? I think a progresssion of both. How will I portray this, what materials should/can I use? What is the best glue? How big will it be? What style do I like? How will I proportion the images onto a canvas ? What colours will assist in portraying my message? How can I show a mothers apprehension ? Lots of research to do!
