Then and Now Cartoon
By Sophie Goodwin
When we first got the assignment, I was sure I wanted to make a piece that had clear meanings but also some hidden details and details that make you really think about our society and what we expose to our youth.
The left side portrays the way children in our society used to be. It portrays a simplistic look at adolescence, featuring classic children’s toys, milk and a pacifier. The right side, of today, shows what kids are exposed to. For example, drugs and alcohol, violence, technology, and pollution.
To some, it may seem like parts of this piece have negative or positive connotations, but this piece was made without an opinion in mind. It is simply how our world is just not the same anymore. Though parts (like a baby vaping), are to shed light on the damaging consequences of what we allow our kids to be exposed to.
