Students will learn the difference between formal and informal compositions. Subjects discussed will include how to lead the eye through an image by creating primary, secondary, and tertiary focal points.

This course applies to any medium and includes approaches for very figurative works all the way to abstraction.

We will discuss how the old masters used visual techniques to keep the viewer involved in the subject. We will also discuss peripheral vision and how to create atmosphere combining colour and edges that lead the viewer into the subject.
