Become a better artist by practicing unique art tasks on the rules of composition.

Composition can make or break your drawing, so make sure you learn the fundamental rules of composition and design so you can apply them to your art!

Composition is “the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole.”

Good composition intentionally arranges the elements and parts of a drawing to better engage with the audience, and sustain their interest in order to elicit the response you intend.

Art with good composition feels right, we can instantly tell if a drawing or painting feels balanced and orderly. When we see an image with good composition we feel at ease, where as an image with bad composition makes us feel irritable and doesn't sustain our interest. Good composition can also fortify the story behind the artwork.

The aim of this generator is to practice all of the main rules of composition and various elements that can support composition in your art and design, so that when it comes to drawing or painting our own ideas you have the ability to make sure the composition is strong, are able to design images with intent to better engage with your audience.
