C2 Advanced Art Composition
In the C1 Art Composition course we learned the fundamentals of art composition. In this course we move beyond those ideas and explore some more advanced techniques. You will have already used frameworks such as the rule of thirds, but now you will want to create your own frameworks that you can then use as a starting point for your artwork. We are also going to explore how the shape of the canvas affects the composition of the work that you create. We will also look at the golden ratio and explore how it can be used as a tool for composition, and we will also look at some advanced techniques for using symmetry and repetition.
