Creating a composition is an experience of intensification, clarification and interpretation, in various degrees. The merging contours and cropped spaces create myriad dimensions in mind’s eyes and change the perception of the viewer. Possibilities are unlimited. The outer reality merges with imaginative manipulation. Creative composition is a fusion of the sensuous and the intellectual. The artist enters a substitute world in which he dwells imaginatively and tries to express aesthetically as per his personal realizations. There is exploration of new forms by creative mind, with an urge to step out and form new equations. The creative process of is an aesthetic interweave with the creative imagination. Jean- Jacques- Rousseau aptly said, “The world of reality has its limits…the world of imagination is boundless.”This course of Creative Painting will be consisting of thirty five modules, covering various aspects like meaning and technical theory of composition, taking along the elements and principles of art like line, colour, form, texture, space, harmony, rhythm, contrast, balance, movement, rule of odds, focal point and then leading to the significance of subject, idea and feeling and imagination. Further on, the modules will include technical base like methods, process and styles in which a creative composition can be made. Learning to express and communicate, one can experiment using various styles like 2D, 3D, realistic, traditional, cubistic, expressionistic, surrealist, decorative, constructive, minimal approach, symbolic, thumb nail, illustrative, idealistic, free and then sketching. When one knows the intricacies of creating an appealing composition, one can exploit the elements in different ratios and give birth to something unique. Like Edgar Degas said, “Painting isn’t so difficult when you don’t know…but when you do, it’s quite a different matter.”
