What is composition in art?
Composition in art is the way in which all the parts of the picture are put together.
Some elements of composition are:• proportion: do all the parts fit together?
• contrast: is there a contrast between parts in shape, or color?
• balance: are the parts arranged symmetrically?
• unity: do the parts feel like they belong together?
Today’s project is to make a still life
collage using this picture as a model.
