What is a composition? The concept of art

1, what is a composition? The word COMPOSITION is a transliteration of English "composition" and a term of plastic arts. Its meaning is to compose, combine, configure and arrange all parts to make it a picture with high artistic quality. The so-called composition is a composition in which artists organize visual elements according to the space on the screen and resort to the coordination of visual points, lines, shapes, lights, shades and colors in terms of formal beauty. Illustration: Before taking a picture, imagine dividing your picture into three parts: horizontal and vertical. The intersection of these imaginary separation lines provides four options for placing interesting center points. The choice depends on the theme and where you want to put it. We choose to put the main body at the intersection in the upper right corner, so that we can see the whole shadow of seagulls and most of the footprints pointing to seagulls. Composition is an important factor to express the content of the work, and it is the organization way of all photographic visual art languages in the work. It makes a certain internal structure of the content be properly expressed, and only when the internal structure and external structure are harmonious and unified can a perfect composition be produced. 2. The purpose of composition The purpose of composition is to emphasize and highlight the typical characters or scenery in the idea, so as to abandon those general, superficial, cumbersome and secondary things, properly arrange the foil and choose the environment, and make the work higher, stronger, more perfect, more concentrated, more typical and ideal than real life, thus enhancing the artistic effect. Generally speaking, it is the art of transmitting one's thoughts and feelings to others, which can really express the purpose of composition. Illustration: We are really close to the main body in these two pictures, but seagulls are hidden in the messy background in the left picture. As long as you change your perspective slightly, seagulls will soon stand out visually against the blue sky. 3. The essence of composition and design can be universal, because their meanings are the same. The precise concept of design and its original meaning is conception, that is, the artist arranges various visual elements properly in order to clearly express his thoughts. Composition refers not only to specific operations, but also to describing the whole form as an object associated with complex photographic rules, introducing natural objects into the realm of reality and becoming an independent world different from nature. Any excellent photographic work is a complex unity of thought and art, and the complexity of the work is determined by the complexity of life. But in the picture processing, it is natural, colorful and natural, and there are few traces of axes. What is the reason? Originality lies in the photographer's selection and refinement, planning and arrangement, and organizational structure, which embodies the photographer's understanding of life and his ingenuity in "business positioning and layout". Therefore, we must make a series of organizational arrangements, skillfully think about the structure, carefully lay out the layout, highlight the main aspects, emphasize the essential things, and embody the theme of the work as a distinct image organization. Composition is to study the structural forms and laws of all compositions, the principles and principles of composition structure, and the corresponding relationship between composition and various thinking forms. Composition must be based on all scientific thinking. Illustration: Simple geometric figures can also help you make a composition. Can you see an imaginary triangle connecting three nuns? Triangles add a strong sense of visual harmony to your photos. However, people still have different views on whether composition also reflects the laws of objective things. Some people think that "painting has no definite method", because the objective things are ever-changing and the emotional and ideological content is more complicated, so no one can tell the law of composition structure. Engels said that "the universal form of nature is law", which shows that law is the universal form. Practice has proved that the composition structure has certain rules, and the "business position, layout, layout, structure and light color" in the discussion of Chinese painting are all incisive discussions on the composition law. In China traditional painting, the composition structure is called "composition" or "layout", and "composition of paper comes first". Position management is like Go, you can play a game of chess, don't be confused. Ordinary paper can also lose ink, remember not to express it with a pen at will. Chess has its way, painting has its reason, and losing is like losing chess. The ancients compared composition to playing chess, so did photography. There must also be a certain composition and layout. Picture composition, like writing an article, follows the composition rules of regularity, theme at different times, mutual echo, contrast between reality and reality, combination of hidden and explicit, simplicity and complexity, density and no trace, obeys the requirements of theme expression, and achieves the perfect harmony and unity of the overall sense of form.
