7 steps to improve Composition, more tricks on composition for artists.

7 steps to improve Composition from Percy Principles of Art and Composition, more tricks on composition for artists.
I just found more of really cool information on composition that I think would be useful for us all. It's called Percy Principles.

There are seven check lists for your composition:
#1 - Avoid a sore thumb. Nothing in the composition should be so strong that the rest of the composition looks neglected.
#2 - Keep everything connected. Connect each part of the composition to something else in the composition.
#3 - Include Secrets. Artwork is more interesting and expressive if it has hidden features and ideas that it only reveals to diligent observers.
#4 - Challenge common assumptions. Strong artwork often makes the viewer question prior assumptions about the world.
#5 - Cherish Mistakes. Mistakes are fascinating gifts, and what we do with them makes all the difference.
#6 - Be Accident Prone. Accidents in art are tragic or happy - depending on the artist's disposition to respond.
#7 - Never borrow other artist's ideas. Steal 'em!
