The Rule of Thirds in Art

Thank you

Dynamic symmetry is like the cool big brother of ROT

Why do you talk like cleveland from family guy, 😂😂 I'm sorry just had to say it, very useful video BTW

wow! this is so helpful- thank you!!

Thank you!

I kind of liked the first light house photo.

Keep up, I learned so much in this video 2 years ago

Bro did you see the Bic Mac on his Lip

Put the picture slightly off center. Got it

Thank you.

WOW!
keep up the good work !

isnt the first painting bottom heavy like the first edit of the lighthouse photo. Though I do think the painting has a better top half because of the colour but it is still quite empty

Idk I don't mind the picture of the girl and dog in the center, it draws the eye to them

Is it me or this sounds like an after thought like people that try to make the Fibonacci circle!

Thanks for the video, it is very helpful

Clear and wonderful....thanks so much

Thank you 🙏 Great tutorial 🙏🦋

That polo button drives me crazy

When you start a design course at Udemy, for example, this knowledge is never explained like that. Thank you!

"goes up with mouse" the rule of fourths

muy interesante. Gracias

I don't agree with you

What is a pitcher plane?

I fully understand the rule of thirds, The Golden Mean, etc. I hope you will please touch bases on the other essential and further complex compositional elements as well.

Helpful. Thank You!

Something to consider for future videos, including diversity makes it easier to share with students. Your explanation is well done.

More pen and ink basics

Thanks matt, regards from Argentina

In my opinion the woman in the second photo would look better in the center

Thank you for this ,you've made it very easy to understand!

Here from class. This dude be kinda cute ngl

Thank you so much !

Thank you sir. This video completely explains the rule of third in an easy way..

Thank you for the video

Ah, this was super helpful! I'm gonna use this today for my mermay drawing. 😃😉

Quarantine art class 🤘

Wow! This is a magnificent picture. Is it an Irish Setter? Using grids over the past few weeks,has made an amazing difference to my drawings. Why does it make so much difference? Is is pleasing to our brain?

Wow! It is little things like this that bring our efforts into perspective. I ignored the "thirds" rule deliberately,and,wasted a lot of time,experimenting. I started using a grid on some of my sketches,and,was stunned at the difference it made. Well done Matt. Your presentation is superb.

Love this

Wow. I've never really thought about that. It makes total sense that centred is not always best.

Very useful. Thank you. I took your online drawing lessons..it's so useful.

Rule of thirds works best with opposing focal points: Delacroix's sleeping Jesus juxtaposed to the tilting masts in the storm, Sargent's planter against the plane wreckage, Kandinsky's opposition of heavy forms versus light, "floating" wedges. The portrait of the girl had a halo which prevented recomposition to thirds.

That shirt button tho

best every

How much of what makes something "aesthetically successful" has to do with suggestion, do you think? It would be interesting to take a large group of paintings, drawings, or photos and show them to two groups of people. The groups would be people with an education in art, who have been taught what is and isn't "aesthetically successful", and a second group who have no formal education in art. Then you could compare which photos they found most appealing and see how many of them align with these ideas about compositional success in each group, and how many they have in common. I think that, concerning art, people often think something is "good" because other artists say so. Jackson Pollock for instance. His art is ridiculous. That is an opinion of course, but really, his art is ridiculous. However, people fall over themselves to praise his "genius".... I think a lot of the prevailing opinions about art in general are driven by the need for acceptance by people presumed to be influential, and not by the actual substance of the art.

the "RULE"...hahahahahahah....now we play by the rules...lol until all art looks like a brand logo
