Creative Compositions
For this year’s theme, we’re celebrating Creative Compositions. the arrangement of the visual elements in your painting. The elements of composition are classically defined as line, shape, color, value, texture, form and space, and these elements can be organized along with balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm and point of view in a near-infinite number of ways. How you compose your painting determines the way people will view it and how they will be affected by it emotionally.
Deadline: Jan 29
