what is composition

the way an artist chooses to arrange objects in a drawing

principles of design

unity, variety, emphasis, rhythm, movement, balance, pattern, and proportion. when making a composition, artists keep these principles in mind to make their piece interesting to look at

unity and variety (pod)

compositional strategies to provide cohesion and interest

emphasis (pod)

using contrast to make certain parts of a composition stand out-- emphasis refers to the part that stands out

contrast

difference between elements that makes some parts of a composition stand out

focal point

where you want a viewer to look first

balance

a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. There are three types of visual balance: symmetry, asymmetry, and radial. symmetry means same on each side, asymmetry means one side has more visual weight than the other, and radial means everything seems to radiate out of one point on the drawing, like a circular stained glass window

rhythm and movement

repeating elements to create the illusion of movement

porportion

size of elements in comparison to each other

hiearchy

the order in which a viewer sees things in a painting/composition --> typically achieved through contrast

repetition

re-using the same elements, can create rhythm and movement

pattern

the way repetition is pictured.
