COMPOSITION

Composition is the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art work. The general purpose of composition is selecting and placing appropriate elements within the work in order to communicate ideas and feeling with the viewer. By applying visual elements of Composition, I took a picture and analyses it. Firstly, the picture of the old vendor is taken from her back. In addition , although, the size of the main object( the vendor) is smaller than the total size of the picture( it s not closed), the vendor is focused very much because she is placed at the center of the picture. Secondly, the line of houses or walls around the vendor to make the viewers ’ eyes focus more to the vendor. Thirdly, the area around picture is old houses has emphasizes the word “poverty” of the picture. Finally, the value of lightness is not high in the picture, it shows the time of the very early morning when poor people start their work.
