RULES TO LIVE BY
Composition
 The organization of the
elements of art using the
principles of design
#1. Dont Center
Everything
 Object placed in the
center of the page
is boring.
 A straight line in the
middle of the page
is boring.
#1. Dont Center Everything
 Off center changes
the feeling of the
picture and adds
interest
 Move the horizon
line up or down to
change the picture
#2. Create Variety
 Objects the same
size and placed
along the same line
are monotonous.
 Varying the
placement and size
can break
monotony.
#3 Use The Rule of
Thirds
 Use the rule of thirds
 Use the rule of thirds

#4 Dont line up things on
the bottom edge of the
paper This is what small
children do.
 Put space between the
bottom of the objects
and the bottom edge
of the paper
 Use a horizon line.
 Use perspective
#5 Dont Put the Sun
in the Corner of your
Drawing
Whats wrong
with this?
everything is lined up at the
top of the page
the drawing doesnt use the
entire paper- too much
negative space
the images dont really relate
to each other realistically
just as bad as putting it at
the bottom of the paper
Whats wrong
with this?
in the corners
the objects dont relate to
each other again
too much negative space?
no idea of ground and sky
Whats wrong
with this?
objects relate to each other,
but they are placed right in the
middle with too much negative
space
the negative space shouldnt
just surround the objects
no horizon line
Whats wrong
with this?
too crowded?
not enough negative space?
the best of the examples
