Here is a computer generated plan of my collage. The coloured circles represent the sequins. Also the eye will look more natural on the actual collage :)

Change of idea
Once again I have slightly altered my idea! It will no longer be a painting but a collage. I have decided this because when trying to plan my painting, nothing was standing out or going to attract anyones attention, thus not raising any awareness. So I have designed a collage which I believe will attract peoples attention.
The base for my painting is a 12 by 16 inch canvas. The background will be black and white newspaper articles which convey the problem of the judicial system without circle sentencing eg. headlines such as "Another indigenous dies in custody". On top of the articles will be a white eye which will take up majority of the canvas and the eye may have a black outline as well as the iris and pupil. Around the iris will be lots of little sequins which represent the many people watching the guilty person. The sequins will be the aboriginal colours including orange, red, yellow and black. The pupil will not be normal and round, it will be the guilty person. Well, an black sort of outline of the guilty person so no features are recognisable.
The main colours of the collage are black and white with only the sequins being in colour. Having such a small amount of colours will allow the painting to be more effective and attract more attention. The sequins which contrast with the background will hopefully draw the viewers eyes into the centre where the person is, who is the focal point.
With all these aspects incorporated into my collage, it will hopefully be very eye catching and thus raise more awareness about what needs to happen in the judicial system.

More Eyes
Here are some more eyes that I have found which could be good for my artwork. They are all different shapes and also I have decided that the smokey effect doesn't matter and any eyes will be perfect.
