ONLINE CLASS: THE BEAUTY OF COMPOSITION
Composition is not a set of rules we must follow, but an elegant “language” in which to communicate. Composition is my “best friend” that sits beside me through all my work. Rather than restrict freedom, compositional principles can give you more confidence, making for freer, stronger work.
