A LITTLE ABOUT COMPOSITION

Below is a link to Tim Packer's video about Composition. There are three in all, if you care to see them, but this first one is my favorite. I like his comparison of art to music: singing in the shower or singing for an audience. I also like his comparison of composition to a "dance" that we provide to keep the audience interested.

He emphasizes that composition isn't a bunch of RULES that a group of artists made up. They are, instead, OBSERVATIONS of what actions create predictable responses, that our brains are hardwired to respond to certain things.

It's only about 11-12 minutes long.
