These are some of the elements of compositionSome will be more important than others in a work.WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY PICTORIAL ELEMENTS AND HOW ARE THEY USED TO MAKE A UNIQUE WORK?

The organization of these elements makes up what is known as the COMPOSITION of an artwork.

When analyzing the composition or the PICTORIAL ISSUES in an Artwork you need to identify the particular elements evident in the work and the way the artist uses them.

All artists work with a personal vocabulary.The vocabulary of an artist consists of pictorial elements, and the particular combination of elements that an artist employs contributes to their personal style.

In the process of selecting subject matter for study, the potential of the subject in terms of providing pictorial issues for development in the students own work should be identified.
