Composition – This means to apply an ordering concept, a ‘design’, to govern the elements in a picture. There are many traditional systems that have been used for this, or you may create one of your own through observation or informed intuition. This also involves an understanding of proportion, scale, format, cropping, focal point placement, eye-path, dominance, balance, numbers, rhythm, hierarchy of shapes, and other general design principles. Composition can be a complex topic when enriched by knowledge, but keeping it clear and simple is always a good approach.

Composition assignment: Use the ‘forced Composition‘ concept – draw flowers or other random natural image, but then trace or copy it to refine lines of force, finally create a random subject, e.g. street scene or landscape, based on the compositional diagram. Finally, refine the drawing and explain how it developed as it did. Submit as a jpeg, small format, within 1 week of final class for comments.
