Without a strong composition, your work may go unnoticed. Mark breaks down the elements of composition into simple and understandable ideas. You will learn the underlying principles that lead to a strong composition, including 10 ways to create and lead the viewer to focal points, and how to create harmony through the use of value, shape, and color.
