Tell Better Tales with Composition

Visual stories can be told in a much clearer way with good use of composition.

Learn how to tell the story of the Red Riding Hood through effective use of 4 compositional techniques (also known as principles of design in art).

1:00 Foreground, Middleground, Background
1:50 Symmetry
2:48 Framing
3:54 Contrast

You can easily pick up these techniques even if you're just a beginning artist or art critque.

Some have noticed that this video looks similar to a book which I have read a few years ago. It could have influenced my thought process and how I teach visual language in classes. But the content in this video is not found in the book.

Nevertheless, do check the book out, it’s an excellent entry point into composition:
