    The document discusses the rule of thirds in art. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds using two horizontal and two vertical lines, creating a 3x3 grid. Important elements in the composition should be placed along these lines or at their intersections. This creates a more aesthetically pleasing layout than centering the subject. The rule relates to the golden ratio and has been used by many famous artists. The document provides examples and step-by-step instructions for applying the rule of thirds to compositions.

    2) analyzed the importance of the rule of thirds in enhancing an artwork;
    3) used the rule of thirds properly;
    4) finished all the activities in this lesson.

    Lesson Development
    LESSON 4
    THE RULE OF THIRDS
    What is the Rule of Thirds in Art?

    The rule of thirds is a guideline for both artists and photographers. The rule of thirds is
    helpful for visual artists working in a two-dimensional medium such as photography, drawing or
    painting. It says that if you divide your composition into thirds, either vertically or horizontally,
    and then place focal areas of your scene at the meeting points of them, you will get a more
    pleasing arrangement and layout for your compositions. It involves dividing an image into thirds
    using two horizontal and vertical lines so that you are left with 9 equal parts.

    The rule of thirds relates to another


    principle called the “Golden Ratio”. This is a
    mathematical relationship of proportion
    that is often found in nature. This ratio has
    been used by artists and architects
    throughout the centuries, including the
    designers of the Parthenon in Athens,
    Salvador Dali, Le Corbusier, and Leonardo da
    Vinci.

    How To Use the Rule Of Thirds?


    We will be using a drawing for my example but the rule of thirds applies to any two-
    dimensional artwork.

    STEP 1: Decide what the dimension of your drawing will be and draw a rectangular shape.

    STEP 2: Divide the rectangular you drew in STEP 1 into 3 even sections. This requires you
    to draw 2 equidistant vertical lines. This should give you three boxes from left to right. See
    illustration below.

    STEP 3: Divide the original rectangle vertically into 3 even sections. This requires you to
    draw 2 equidistant horizontal lines. Now your rectangle should have 9 boxes that are all equal
    size.

    STEP 4: Now you are ready to compose your drawing. To adhere to the rule of thirds you should
    be placing your main subject matter at an intersection. This will be an ideal place to create a focal point or
    draw an object you would like to emphasize. There are 4 possible locations where your guiding lines
    intersect.
