THE RULES OF COMPOSITION
Years ago, artists who had been born with an innate sense of design created works that were perceived, by other
skilled artists, as having good composition. Not only that, but their works were very popular with the general public
and art afficionados. Analysis of such works showed patterns and trends in the organization and inter-relationships of lines, shapes, forms and colors that were recognized as contributing to the effectiveness of the works. It was found that others could
employ these patterns as techniques in improving their own works. When they were defined, they became known as
the rules of composition.
Thanks, Janet. I'm heading to your web shortly. Your photos give me inspiration too. I think the book you're putting together sounds awesome!
