Composition is at the core of collage art. It determines how elements are arranged and how they interact.

Balance is essential. Artists must distribute visual weight across the composition.

Contrast creates interest. Differences in size, color, and shape guide the viewer's eye.

Spacing and alignment influence structure. Even small adjustments can change the entire composition.

Successful collage relies on both intuition and precision.

Strong composition transforms fragments into a cohesive artwork.
