As a class we arranged various objects together on tables which was useful because it helped us critique each other on what is good/bad about it. We then went around and quickly drew various angles of the arrangements to find which we all liked best.
Here is my final composition after choosing it from the quick sketches.
This composition works because there are no orphaned objects, but there are overlapping objects which creates depth since you can see what is behind what. There are many directions of line to show the positioning of the objects as well as reflectivity and irregularity (in the cloth). The way the cloth is arranged creates varying values of shadow due to the positioning of the light source as well as the other objects in the composition. This variation makes for a more interesting drawing because there is more to look at and not everything is as regular as you might expect it to be. The cloth lines help to navigate your eyes across the image and you can see how the cloth reacts to the other objects by how it bunches up and the shadows that are made. The composition is balanced, as there are varying levels of contrast and colour values across the whole image as well as there being the same amount of "stuff" on each side.
