Composition is an organization of ideas/parts that equal a whole. 

This applies to all kinds of art, not just the visual aspects. To create a composition an artist must utilize certain elements. Such as: point, line, space, shape, texture, color/hue, and also principles, such as: rhythm, balance, harmony, emphasis, unity, and scale. Gestalt theory is explained as having four basic parts; all playing a role in the way our brain organizes and analyzes works of art.
