The repetitive form in plane composition is that the same basic shape is regularly arranged and combined repeatedly, showing an orderly beauty. Repeated composition is based on the principle that the whole is greater than the part, emphasizing the continuity and order of the image. Therefore, the purpose of repetition is to emphasize that the repetition of images appears visually, which not only strengthens the whole but also deepens the impression and memory.
Positive and negative shapes in plane space:
Beginners often spend their energy on the characterization of orthomorphism, while ignoring the negative shape. In fact, negative shape also plays a vital role in a good work. For example, the fragmentation and fluidity of a negative shape will weaken the integrity and strength of a positive shape. This involves the overall understanding of the shape of the picture. Any element in the picture is a whole. In order to "manage" their position, which is often called composition, we must examine and deal with the relationship between positive and negative shapes.
