Composition in Art

Composition in Art

Composition in art is the organisation and arrangement of different visual elements within an artwork.

Composition in art involves the organisation of visual elements within an artwork. These elements are arranged to create a specific composition, allowing artists to convey emotions, stories, or meaning through their arrangement. While there are no strict rules for composition, artists often use principles to craft compositions that express their intended message or impact.
