A Little Book on the Elements of Composition: Elements of Classical Composition Theory

By Jim Smyth

A little book on the Elements of Composition is a brief discussion on the main elements of composition: dominance subordination in terms of location, size, shape, division of spaces, balance, values, eye control among other elements. This is not a "how to" book. It is the classical theory of composition as taught in academies in many countries across the centuries. Understanding these elements will give the reader a greater grasp of how many masterpieces from the renaissance to the moderns were put together and will give you a greater understanding of those masterpieces. These elements will give you tools to solve compositional issues like a master.
