If you think Geometry, then certainly. How to draw buildings of proper proportion to each other... how to "scale down."

In classical artwork (Renaissance era especially) there is something called 'the golden rule' that artists used to help them make the perfect composition. It is based on Maths. Draw a straight line from top corner to opposite bottom corner of the canvas. Then using a compass draw a semicircle from bottom corner as the centre up to the line you drew earier. Where they intersect is where to put the focal point of the painting.

A typical composition, even for beginning art students, relies on the 1/3, 2/3 rule.
