COMPOSITION:
THE RULE OF THIRDS ( GOLDEN RATIO)
The rule of thirds is a simplified way to create a pleasing composition that follows the golden ratio which has been found in nature, art and architecture since the beginning of time. Many students follow this rule quite naturally but it is an excellent way to check yourself and understand how your decisions on composition ( where you place things) creates focal point, movement, balance, emphasis, rhythm and unity ( the principles of design).
