Enhancing visual interest

How do we enhance visual interest? How do we divide space so that it will captivate the interest of the eyes?

Dividing a picture into equal halves is boring. Do not have any diagonal line forming from corner to corner of a painting. Also, avoid dividing a picture into equal halves. Do not have line that divide the painting into sides with equal length and of the same proportion.

Placing a mountain peak or a roof form in the exact center with sides of equal length also violate the rule of composition. Try to place them off center, with sides of equal length. In creating mountains or roof skylines, it is more interesting if the angles and lengths of the sides are varied.
