"The realm of visual composition embraces the art elements of balance, color, form, harmony, line, mass, pattern, rhythm, shape, space, texture, tone, value, and volume. In the broadest sense, composition is the structure of a picture apart from its subject and style, material and technique; compositional structure is fundamentally an underlying matrix or substrate of abstract design from which the blossoming of visual association, meaning, and symbolism originates."[1]

Sabrina Fadial of VCFA recently shared this term: ostranenie – encouraging people to see common things as strange, wild, or unfamiliar; defamiliarizing what is known in order to know it differently or more deeply. It makes me wonder what the binary would be. Any ideas?
