Composition
What is composition? as we learned in class on Friday, composition is really everything created by us. It can be mineral composition, writing, music, and visual. Then we broke down the composition of art into categories of Point, Line, Shape/Form, Color/Hue, Texture, Space, and Value/Shade.
The Whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Gestalt meaning the whole basically boiled down to how people view things such as when a person walks into a classroom they instantly think that it's a classroom because of all the components that make up the room as a whole. No one sits there and thinks about each individual piece or object in the room to figure out that the room is in fact a classroom.
Gestalt has four basic principles; proximity, similarity, continuance, and closure. Each one of these can change how a person views art.
