    • Spatial description of line as movement in space
  • Restricted value (tone) definition of shapes taken from still life (volume)
  • Redistribution of value (tone) relationships
  • Static composition: close value, stable shapes
  • Dynamic composition: high contrast value, active shapes
  • Composition with static and dynamic balance
  • Composition with pattern versus mass relationships
  • Equivocal shapes composition
