Describe how the artist has used proportion and composition in this piece?
Composition: bolder colors seem to leap off the page, whereas lighter colors appears to fall back; almost all the objects are vertically placed so the eye travels up and down when looking at the piece; there is balance of shape and color.
Proportion: certain objects are smaller than others to create depth; the objects are all relatively small and proportionate to each other.
