(Arthur Wesley) 1857 1922 Dow, Arthur Wesley Dow, A. W. (Arthur Wesley) Composition $b A series of exercises in art structure for the use of students and teachers "Composition" by Arthur W. Dow is a comprehensive guide on artistic structure and design, written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a resource for students and educators in the fine arts, focusing on the principles of composition through exercises aimed at developing appreciation and control over artistic elements such as line, mass, and color. With insights derived from Dow's extensive teaching and experience in painting, it encourages a shift from traditional imitative approaches toward a more structured and intuitive understanding of art. At the start of "Composition," the author outlines his intentions for offering a fresh perspective on art education, emphasizing the development of creative power through an organized set of exercises. He introduces the concept of composition as a method of uniting elements harmoniously, opposing conventional training that prioritizes imitation of nature over understanding fundamental structures. Dow expresses the importance of appreciating the aesthetic value of diverse art forms, including landscapes and decorative designs, highlighting the significant educational goals behind his teaching approach. The initial chapters establish a foundation for exploring the three critical elements of art—line, notan (dark-and-light), and color—as crucial components in creating artistic compositions.
