Compostion is using color, image and text in your own unique way to convey a

message, idea or theme.

Barry McGee and Margaret Kilgallen are two artists who use these devices to

create interesting compositions in their work.

Barry McGee

Interesting Compositions can be awkward or out of ordinary

Canvases and drawings can be grouped together to form a new composition.

Text and Imagery can be placed together. Text can be used in an abstract way.

Margaret Kilgallen

Imagery can be taken from different sources like advertising or photographs.

Perspective can help you create an interesting composition.

Text can help make an impression, convey a message or reference pop culture.

Sculptures can be used along with painting to extend a composition into 3 dimensional space.
