Composition
Transcript:
Composition is the organization of shapes and forms into a hole and expressive hole. The elements of composition, line shape, tone and color need to be well arranged, need to be ordered, they need to be coherent, just like the words and phrases and sentences in a piece of writing. All paintings have a compositional element. Successful paintings sort of suggest the third dimension, the sense that the design goes beyond the picture frame a pictures. Unity, which includes the shapes, tones, and colors, is linked to what the artist has to say. The artists message is strongest when it's clear, a composition is better. If it says one thing strongly, then if it tries to say too many things, a crowded composition is sort of fussy and splintered, and lacks unity. Even a painting of a single object needs thoughtful composition. So the character of the object is present in every shape.
