Lecture
Review
- Elements: Value
- Principles: Emphasis, Focal Point, Contrast
- PLUS: Open and Close Value Compositions
- Closed-Value Composition: Values are limited by the boundaries of shapes and clearly isolate individual parts of the composition. This type of composition could create dramatic mood through contrasting values.
- Open-Value Composition: Values cross shape boundaries, integrating parts with adjoining areas and unifying the composition. This type of composition could create a mysterious fog or haze using closely related values.
