What is Composition? What is Space?
What is composition?
A composition is something which is put together - an arrangement of different elements. Sometimes, composition is used to refer to one piece of artwork, such as a painting.
What is space?
Space is the 3D (3 dimensional) boundless, extent in which an object has a relative position, the physical space around an object or shape.
Task...
1. Copy the title 'What is Composition?' into your sketchbook.
2. Neatly copy the definition under the title.
REMEMBER: Think about presentation and using interesting TYPOGRAPHY!
3. Add the definition of BACKGROUND, FOREGROUND and MIDDLE GROUND to your composition page.
Background: Area in the back (furthest away) in an art work. Objects appear very small as they are further away.
Middle ground: Area in the middle part of a work of art. Objects appear slightly smaller, as they are further away.
Foreground: Area closest to you in a work of art. Objects appear closest to you.

Continuing to develop your knowledge of the formal elements!

What is Pattern?
What is Pattern?
Pattern has three main meanings: a decorative design, usually of a repeated motif or figure; the composition or layout of an artwork; and the model or mould used for casting. In the first sense, visual forms or motifs, are repeated, often in a systematic manner.
Task...
1. Create a paper-chain - you can either cut out some girls, boys or angles. Create a pattern and stick this in your sketchbook. You can extend your page with an extra bit of paper to make a flap.
