Before beginning this assignment you must first understand the importance of gesture and composition.
What is Gesture?
|
Why are these important?
A gesture helps you capture an image quickly and accurately. It is extremely helpful in sketching out ideas and thumbnails without spending hours. Being able to gesture well, will help get ideas out of your head and onto paper so it is not forgotten.
Meanwhile composition helps you as an artist take your ideas and arrange them in a way that is visually appealing and eye catching. Without a knowledge of composition, a wonderful idea can fall flat.
All students should consider both gesture and composition when beginning every piece.
