Composition is a term used to describe the way visual elements in an artwork are arranged. It is important to use composition to make sure the story in the artwork is readable. Contrast, faces, guiding lines, color, shape, value and activity are all ways to help direct the viewer's eye towards the desired focal point. Rules of composition, such as the rule of thirds, the golden ratio, centered composition, symmetry, and golden triangles, can help create aesthetically pleasing artworks.
