Visual Composition • Background: A cracked concrete wall, faded and grey, covered with faint chalk drawings—stick figures, suns, houses—half-erased by time and conflict. • Centerpiece: A stylized iron tree, rusted and bare, standing solemnly in the middle. From its branches hang a few colorful paper leaves—each one inscribed with a child’s name or a word like “hope,” “play,” or “peace.” • Foreground: Four silhouettes of children from different eras: • Tino (Italy, 1945): holding a broken wooden toy. • Mira (Bosnia, 1995): clutching a torn schoolbook. • Yazan (Syria, 2025): wearing a dusty backpack. • Amina (Gaza, 2023): raising a small white flag. They stand quietly around the tree, not touching, but connected by gaze and posture. 📝 Text Elements • Title (Top Center): The Right to Be Small Memories of Broken Childhoods (in bold, distressed lettering; slightly faded as if weathered by time) • Quote (Bottom Center): “Protect the right to be small.” (Italicized, soft serif font, glowing faintly against the dark background) • Details (Bottom Left/Right): • Written and performed by students of [School Name] • Directed by [Director Name] • Date, Time, Location • Free entry / Donations welcome 🎨 Color Palette • Greys and rust tones for the background and tree • Muted earth tones for the children’s silhouettes • Bright, hopeful colors for the paper leaves (yellow, green, blue, red) • White and gold for the title and quote See more
