Tell Better Tales with Composition

Рет қаралды 258,855

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:
Picture This: How Pictures Work by Molly Bang

Love the video. It's most likely based on the book '' Picture This'' from Molly Bang that i recommend to anyone who wants to understand composition and its impacts. It is a brilliant book that i took back out a few weeks ago. It has more information than this video but i prefer video and narration. For some reason it is easier for me to retain the information. Thank you for this post.

I highly recommend that book too. I made this video for my students to learn composition, and did not refer to (or even thought about) the book throughout the process of making the video. Nevertheless, it is an excellent book, will put it in the description. Thank you for watching!
