In the visual arts -- in particular painting, graphic design, photography, and sculpture -- composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art
Description
Composition is the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art.
The term composition means 'putting together,' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged or put together using conscious thought.
In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context.
In graphic design for press and desktop publishing composition is commonly referred to as page layout.
Distinct from subject matter
Composition is distinct from the subject of a work.
