The meaning of borders, frames to separate the real world from the world depicted. Due to the presence of borders, frames, "we face a different world with its space, time, value ... Frames indicate the boundary between the inner world of painting and the outside world, "- wrote to the Assumption B.. External borders, on the one hand, connected with the surrounding space, on the other hand, the inner product structure, the organization of elements within the composition, which dictates a certain type of composition. The composition may be closed, fits into a certain shape and subordinate may be open, assuming the continuation of mental space. In any case, the outer limits of the composition and type are determined by the internal relationships between its elements. These composite nodes and threads, keep it inside in the spatio-temporal boundaries.
- The characteristic feature of composite construction is also structuring the complexity of the internal structure of the work. Compositional construction distinguished by the presence of parts associated with each other relations system.
- This is a complex entity composed of unequal within the meaning and value parts. It is always possible to identify the main and secondary, center and periphery. Even in the ornamental compositions in the absence of institutional center of the composition can select the main theme and its accompanying subordinate motives. Subordination of parts - so you can determine this sign.
- The unity and integrity - a key feature of the composition. In the finished composition, everything is interconnected and everything is subordinated to a common goal - the idea, artistic design. This coupling is manifested in the story-shaped solution of the product, and the harmonic ordering of its shape. In the unity of content and form.
- The harmony of the whole - a necessary condition kompozitsioinogo construction, it is an important feature. Any work of art, as already mentioned, is a struggle of opposites - this is evident in the plot - in opposition to the characters, situations, and in the formal decision - in the relations of objects and space, color relationships, tonal, v.dvizhenii, in equilibrium etc. All the contradictory moments in the composition balanced, reduced to the harmonic order.

We looked at the signs by which one can judge the compositionality of art or other appropriate structure.
