Composition, according to the requirements of a specific theme, appropriately organizes individual or partial images in a certain space to form a coordinated and complete picture. In traditional Chinese painting, it is called "Zhangfa" or "Layout". Lu Xun's "Collection of Letters to Wu Bo": "Both paintings by Ye Fu are good, but I think it is better to use "Dawn" because the composition is lively and the light and darkness are distinct." Part 3 of Hong Shen's "Preliminary Knowledge of Drama Directors": "The director's handling of the lines and shapes on the stage can actually be regarded as a continuous composition."
Extended knowledge
It refers to the creator's ability to express what he wants to express within a certain space. The image is organized and arranged to form a specific structure and form between the parts of the image and the whole, and between the image space. In short, composition is the formal structure of plastic art, including the sum of all modeling factors and means.
In various plastic arts, composition is called differently, such as "composition" in painting, "composition" in design, "style" and "layout" in construction, "framing" in photography, and "composition" in calligraphy. "Interframe" and "cloth white" both refer to composition.
The concept of composition has rich connotations, including:
1. Determination of the position of the artistic image in space.
2. Determination of the size of the artistic image in the space.
3. The combination relationship and separation form between the various parts of the artistic image itself, and between the main image and the companion image.
4. The combination relationship and separation form of artistic image and space.
5. The visual impact and power produced by the artistic image.
6. The formal beauty rules used and the aesthetic feeling produced.
