Learn essential composition rules to effortlessly create dynamic and balanced images.
Course Summary
In this condensed mini-course, you will gain all the knowledge you need to understand composition,
an essential course for everyone working with images.
Only you know when the picture is perfect, when it is complete. However, there are many general rules, things that most of us naturally appreciate. Sometimes, you might feel that something needs to change but can't quite pinpoint what. That's when these rules are great to refer to. They can often help you find solutions.
What’s the difference between the golden ratio and the rule of thirds? How can lines lead the viewer into the painting? What does vignetting a painting mean? How do you emphasize the main subject with contrasts? Why is the foreground crucial for creating depth in a picture? Claude Lorrain's approach to composing landscapes influenced generations for hundreds of years – what was so special about it?
Once you grasp the concept of composition, you'll find it easier to create images that captivate both you and others, inviting the gaze to linger longer.
Welcome to a short course that can equip you with essential tools.
