I think that composition is the most difficult of any pictorial element, and I wish principles of composition were more widely taught.

In my humble opinion, composition is the overriding issue in all that we attempt. I don't believe poor composition can be overcome with a superior technique, good color harmony, or any other tool at our disposal.
Although most lay people would not be able to articulate their reasons, I think that art is most often rejected or accepted on the basis of composition. Do we have a kind of universal human template which governs our view (acceptance, rejection) of shape and space relationships?
