The principles, based on which the two-dimensional compositions "look" interesting can be very well explained by making students aware the about Gestalt theory of visual perception, the theory of visual illusion, and the philosophical meaning of "image in the mind". The psychologists have also contributed a lot in this field of visual perception. It is very interesting to learn about the process of forming an image in the | ||

and also to learn about the physiological process of "seeing".
The process of making compositions of the given elements starts with,
manipulating the object and ground. Simple repetition and rhythmic repetition
is, the commonest technique, adopted by new as well as seasoned designers/artists.
Variation in repetition has given rise to focal point. Parallelism, and
radiation bring a sense of visual direction to the composition. Play of
the foreground and the background can create visual illusion. To harmonise

elements of variety is actually difficult
task. The representation of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional
paper, creation of depth and the effect of light and shade are also common
techniques adopted by visual artists to make the composition look interesting.
After doing an exercise of abstraction, students are asked to make their
own compositions. |
