| Piet Mondrian, 1921 |
Composition is the foundation of image making. According to Kit White, "it is the spatial relationship between all of the parts in an image...how a thing is composed determines its look, its feel, and its meaning." Composition assists in what the image communicates. Mondrian, during his Neo-Plasticism Period, used geometric shapes outlined in black with some color. Since the subject matter was limited, composition was crucial in order to express the right feeling to the painting. In my own work, sometimes the right composition comes naturally and sometimes many sketches are needed to get the right feel. Enjoy!
