Composition+and+Value

It can be applied to **music, dance or art**. It is drawing of a kind, making **decisions** based upon previous knowledge or improvisation ( reacting to existing forces or objects) With **color** **value** though, the rules of complements (creating **neutral** color) can come into play as well as how you perceive light and color in the real world. Or maybe you are more kin to the **Impressionists** than the **Fauves**. What these have in common **Color, Value and Composition,** is when used together with **The Principles** of contrast, focal point, variety, balance and movement, we make a picture.
