Lower Sec E-learning Week3

This week we will be practising our Composition skills for Art. What are basic composition skills? It is the ability to put a picture or an image together. Before you start drawing, you should look at how you want to lay out your paper. Would you want to place it in a "portrait" or a "landscape" layout? For example, if you were drawing a tree, you'd want to have your paper in a "portrait" format:-

To give the impression that the chilli is lying on a flat surface, we'd have use a "landscape" format.

Once you have decided on which format to use, try to make sure that you have a balanced composition by ensuring that the size and placement of items on one side are counteracted by those on the other. For example:-

Now try to create a balanced composition of your own. Use drawing block and hand it into your teacher when you come back to school.
