Compositional theory is a set of methods and rules that are used in many art pieces. There are rules such as nine zone grid and methods like cropping and line of sight. These rules and methods are techniques that are used in many art pieces. We are learning about this because we have been looking at and studying pieces of visual art. Rules1. Nine Zone Grid - Divides the page into nine equal zones, vertically and horizontally, placing the focal point on a point of intersecting lines. 2. Rule of Thirds - Divides the page into three equal zones that can be either horizontal or vertical. 3. S-Curve - A flowing line that carries the viewers eye back and fourth manner through the composition. Methods1. Line of Sight - Implied lines suggested by the direction in which figures in a picture are looking, or from the observer's eye to the object being looked at. 2. Cropping - The removal of the outer parts of an image to improve framing accentuate subject matter or change aspect ratio. 3. Overlapping - to extend over or past and cover part of. 4. Negative Space - The space not occupied by an object or figure by circulating in and around it, contributing to the total effect of the composition. 5. Unity and Variety - Allows for differences in elements but visually connects the other pieces by having some elements that relate to each other. 6. Framing - Provides a sense of depth, scale, and distance within a piece of art. 7. Triangle Method
- Locate images on the three points of a triangle to create a stable, yet interesting image.
