Welcome to class!
In today’s class, we will be talking about imaginative composition. Enjoy the class!
Imaginative Composition
It is the art technique of creating works of art through the ability to form a mental image that is not perceived through the five senses. The mind can build mental pictures of objects, scenes, events, setting and positioning that do not exist either in the immediate or present or in the past. The imaginative composition is controlled by the power of the mind. A certain degree of imaginative ability is found in everyone. The ability is highly developed in some people while in others, it comes weak in manifestation, while in a few, it is just dormant and needs the training to activate. It is the power of an accelerated mind and makes it possible for the artist to experience a whole new world inside their mind, enabling the rich ability of a different point of creative view, the fusion of the past to the present and the future.
The power of the five senses and feelings can be explored to improve and expand the scope of imaginative composition as it relates to literature, music and drama because the power of imagination is not limited only to pictorial vision. A developed and strong imaginative power strengthens the artist’s ability to create and recreate fantastic works of art.
The imaginative composition is the energy source for creating objects, events, settings, locations, feelings and circumstances. It is also employed in the creation of paintings., magic, music, graphic, sculpture, theatre, textile, photography, literature and choreography. It is the creative power that gives credit to the brainchild of invented instruments, objects and products. A good artist is the one that recognizes and understands the power of imaginative composition and explores. The inability of an artist to rise to this responsibility leads to creative struggles, difficulties, incompetence and failure in the chosen career as an artist. An exercise on imaginative composition can be coined out in drawing, painting, graphics, photography, textile, sculpture, ceramics etc.
