Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module contains selected content in the field of visual work composition, its types and significance as a tool in the efficient construction of an artistic message (composition as a tool; visual, aesthetic and emotional composition; composition and narration; two-dimensional and multidimensional composition – space, time and sound as its elements). Among the topics covered there are also issues in the field of visual perception (the concept of rhythm, dynamics, contrast, harmony, expression, accent and dominant, light, color, contour, motif and its surroundings). The module also includes content on the use of trace and chance in constructing interesting forms of expression, as well as adjusting the technique to the type of utterance. The richness of the workshop and openness to new techniques and interesting topics are to encourage students to develop their individual predispositions, as well as to create their own forms of expression, in which the efficient use of composition will be helpful in creative and art therapy activities
