Painting, sculpting or sketching, all of these need some sort of
composition to make the final image appealing. Without the right composition
the image would just look like another piece art work without any sort of
meaning. Composition is usually used to arrange certain elements to form
something. R. Berdan mentions “Effective
images are those that command attention and communicate some feeling to an
audience. Capturing a "feeling" and your viewers' attention is a
demanding task that requires practice, experimentation and study”. I think
an image needs to capture the audience in terms of what their feeling and what
they are thinking when they look at an image. This is something that is missing
from a lot of work that people do including mine; I think this is vital as most
people produce work for the audience so the audience needs to feel attracted to
the image.
To organise a scene is very difficult it requires a lot attention
to detail. I think it is a lot easier for a painter to come with a nice
compositional art; however I think if an artist goes to photograph something
then it would be a lot more challenging for him to get the right the scene, as he
would need to go out and search for he’s desired scene. But I think a painter
can just put down on paper on how he wants he’s final image to be laid out. I think
natural composition is usually the best lay out for forests and jungles, with a
few minor placements of your own.
For artists the composition for any scene requires planning, an
artist needs to plan where he would put objects to make a believe atmosphere.
There needs to be countless amounts conceptualising to get the right
composition, only then can someone come up with an interesting scene. R. Berdan
also says “Improving our visual sensitivity requires
quieting our minds, relaxing, and preparing by learning as much as we can about
our preferred subjects”, this is also something that needs to be taken in
consideration. In my experience I have found that I cannot work when there are
loud noises. For instance if I am drawing I need to be alone with only my
sketchbook and pencil.
Learning about something before we start to interact with it
is also an interesting fact, as this allows us to better understand what we are
about to tackle. When we see a scene that is interesting we need to isolate
everything that is not necessary and focus on the important visual elements.
People should study intensely on composition; this would make the
artists think a lot more when they are producing a sketch and also in turn come
up with a final outcome.
