Composition• Composition – the art term for how the things

in the artwork are arranged. – A good composition would be well balanced, in an

interesting pose or organization, and well thought out

– A bad composition would only us a small amount of the page, or have the object sitting in the middle of the page, or drawing too small

Arrangement of Objects

• Many good compositions have 3 elements:–Foreground–Middle Ground–Background

Foreground• Foreground – things that are

closest to the viewer, usually larger and in the bottom of the picture plane

Middle Ground• Middle Ground – things that are

in the middle of the picture, medium sized and behind the foreground

Background• Background – things are smaller

and higher in the picture plane, behind the foreground and middle ground
