The most common purpose for composition in art is to draw the viewer in and pull their eye across the entire painting, taking in the details, before resting on the subject of the painting. Elements of composition include unity, balance, movement, rhythm, focus, contrast, pattern, and proportion.

depending on the purpose of the piece. if the piece is part of something on a grander scale( a storyboard for a movie or a photo for a magazine) then the composition exists to set a mood or emotion for the viewer to feel as they absorb the story. if the piece is solitary( something for home decor or something that you might find in a museum or gallery) then the composition is for appeal.

The most common purpose of composition in art is to direct the viewer's eye. Composition creates lines that allow the viewer's eye to travel from place to place on the canvas or photograph.
