You want your photographs to have great compositions, but maybe you're not sure where to start. Does the "Rule of Thirds" sound more like mathematics than photography? In this class I will explain the very foundation of artistic composition using easy to understand graphics and several photographic examples. With famous and not-so-famous photographs, I will reveal what works and what doesn't and explain why. This unique, in depth survey of composition provides creative understanding that no photographer should be without! In this class you will learn:

• The basics of 2D design

• What excites our eyes and brains

• How to direct the eye

• How to use color for composition

• The Rule of Thirds and how to apply it

• How to use emotive subjects to activate composition

• How to see and talk about photographic composition

• Editing photographs for composition
