A composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or 'ingredients' in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. The term composition means 'putting together' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged using conscious thought. The students were instructed to include at least one living creature. All five of the projects I compiled for the the remote learning of this school year included easily obtainable art supplies, easily understandable projects, and adaptable to all grade levels K-8.

Classical idealism and Romantic emotionalism and drama were avoided equally, and often sordid or untidy elements of subjects were not smoothed over or omitted. Social realism emphasizes the depiction of the working class, and treating them with the same seriousness as other classes in art, but realism, as the avoidance of artificiality, in the treatment of human relations and emotions was also an aim of Realism.
