African political cartoon evaluation

Some of the main visual elements of this political cartoon are that Africa is being stepped on. There is big foot step dug into the country and mostly in the center. This political cartoon is about the issue that Africa is having with the Europeans. They had absolutely no control over the Europeans because the Europeans took whatever they wanted. Also another visual effect is the land of the country is black and the foot step is white, which shows a lot of racism. There are many different way for the cartoonist's position because he/she could either feel good about how the Europeans had control over the Africans and took control of their land, OR the cartoonist wants to show how hurt Africa got. Either way, the cartoonist is trying to show how badly taken over Africa was. Other techniques the cartoonist had used was that when he drew the foot steps, you can see that the foot step dug deep into the land of the Africans and i think that shows how the Europeans dug deep, taking away its many precious resources. The way the cartoonist made the foot step really big and deep made the most effect on it. Also how his idea, of showing that Africa got taken over by drawing a foot step was a good and persuasive way to show it. The artist could have made the cartoon a little more effective by maybe having more contrast.
