Compositions
These are different compositions most of these I took myself apart from lines of sight and point of view.
The golden rectangle
This is based on the golden ratio or the divine proportion which is mathematically developed formula observed often in nature but also is applied to architecture and art.
The Rule of odds
Having an odd number of things included in your composition means you eye and brain can't pair them up or group them easily. This is clever because there means that there is always one thing left that your eyes can't see meaning your eyes constantly move over the picture.
Leading lines
This are lines that guide the viewers eyes around or through the artwork.
Strong diagonal
It is a form of a leading line that can transform a boring composition and turn it into a interesting one.
They are created when a subject is looking at something within the painting. the viewers eyes follow the line of sight to the object being observed.
Point of view
Moving the point of view above or below the subject can create a more
interesting and dynamic piece of art.
Framing
One way to make the subject to stand out is to create a natural frame within the composition. The frame helps draw the viewers eyes to the main subject and also creates a sense of depth.
Simplify
This is eliminating unnecessary items from the composition because they only distract the viewer.
Fill the frame
It is not always necessary to fill the whole composition with the entire subject sometimes it is more effective and and interesting to cut down the edges of the main subject.
Active space
It is important when depicting action to leave a space between the side of the frame and the subject. If this does not happen then the composition looks unbalanced.
