What can cause the viewer's attention to scatter in a line-based composition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Too many unrelated directional cues
Lines guide the viewer’s eye through a composition. When many lines point in unrelated directions without a visual relationship, they create no clear path or focal point, so attention becomes scattered. A clear focal point and controlled line weight usually organise attention, while balanced negative space gives the composition visual breathing room. Exam tip: check whether the directions of lines guide the eye towards a main focal area.
