Composition is the artist's method of organising a subject, of deciding what to put in and what to leave out in order to make an effective picture. The different types of compositions are :
1. Horizontals and verticals
2. Harmony and balance
3. Rhythm and the spaces between objects
4. Curves and diagonals
5. Colour
6. Asymmetry
7. Apparently random composition
8. Collage
9. Composition and installation
Whatever shape it takes, composition is one of the most powerful means the artist has of communicating with the spectator. It is the skeleton or backbone of the picture. The other elements then add to the total expression of the original idea and the creation of layers of meaning. To work really well, each part must interact with the other parts to create the emotional impact of the picture. It is by forming relationships between the composition and all the other elements that the artist creates a whole.
