【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 1-2 Composition is the organization of shapes and forms into a whole--an expressive whole. The elements of composition-- line, shape, tone, and color--need to be well arranged, need to be ordered. They need to be coherent ... just like the words and phrases and sentences in a piece of writing. All paintings have a compositional element. Successful paintings sort of suggest the third dimension, the sense that the design goes beyond the picture frame. A picture's unity--which includes the shapes, tones and colors--is linked to what the artist has to say. The artist's message is strongest when it's clear. A composition is better if it says one thing strongly than if it tries to say too many things. A crowded composition is sort of fussy and splintered and lacks unity. Even a painting of a single object needs thoughtful composition so the character of the object is present in every shape. 1. What does the instructor imply about composition? The instructor implies that composition in painting is similar to composition in writing. He says: The elements of composition--line, shape, tone, and color--need to be well arranged, need to be ordered. They need to be coherent...just like the words and phrases and sentences in a piece of writing.
