  2. Composition: • In the visual arts — in particular painting, graphic design, photography and sculpture — composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art. • The principles are movement, unity, variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, proportion, and pattern.

  3. Landscape • Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including physical elements such as landforms, living elements of flora and fauna, abstract elements like lighting and weather conditions, and human elements like human activity and the built environment.

  4. Utopia • Utopia - An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. Edward Hicks (1780-1849) Peaceable Kingdom

  5. 3 Parts to your Image: • Foreground: The elements of an image which lie closest to the picture plane; The subject of an image, often depicted at the bottom in a two-dimensional work. • Middle Ground: the area between the foreground and the most distant part of a scene • Background: the part of a scene (or picture) that lies behind objects in the foreground; "he posed her against a background of rolling hills"
